Melbourne’s iconic Royal Botanic Gardens are a treasured sanctuary located in the heart of Melbourne for over 170 years. The annual report aims to reflect the vision, mission and values of the organisation whilst also responding to the year’s theme of sustainability. The design was inspired by the scientific endeavours that the Royal Botanic Gardens undertakes each year and their contribution to research and sustainability. Combining this with the colourful and unpredictable side of nature, I have aimed to take a less conventional route to the report.
