The Royal Botanic Gardens sincerely thanks the businesses, community groups, individuals, trusts and foundations that generously supported its work in 2004–05.

Listed among these are: the development of new environmental education and visitor experiences; the completion of The Ian Potter Foundation Children’s Garden, now recognised by two major awards; continued progress with the creation of the innovative Australian Garden at RBG Cranbourne; continuing assistance with the preservation of the State Botanical Collection; continued support of the National Herbarium of Victoria’s scientific research and conservation programs; and building upon ARCUE’s growing body of research.

This list records donations to the Royal Botanic Gardens of $1,000 and over in the 2004–05 financial year. Donors are categorised according to donations received in this financial year and previous donations since 2000–01.
