This month our speaker is the historian Pauline Payne, a longstanding SAMHS member. If we consider present environmental concerns and look to the past for assistance, her topic is timely, as she will speak about the influence of planned gardens on the health of residents of South Australia.

Dr. Pauline Payne - "The 19^th Century Adelaide Botanic Gardens & Health Of South Australians"
