The Calyx, a jewel in the gardens perfect for your next event.
The Royal Botanic Garden Sydney is known to attract streams of nature enthusiasts, tourists and romantics alike with it’s lush greenery and natural abundance. In June 2016, the garden opened a new world-class attraction, The Calyx. In botanic terms, a calyx can be defined as the sepals of a flower, typically forming a circular pattern that encloses the petals and forms a protective layer around a flower in bud. In zoological terms, a calyx represents a cup-like captivity. These two definitions are indicative of this horticultural exhibition enclosure. Offering of fusion of art, theatre and flora, The Calyx makes for the perfect backdrop for that next ‘wow’ event.
