The Calyx in the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney, is declared as home to one of the largest green walls in the southern hemisphere. It also provides a unique venue in the heart of Sydney.
The Calyx (pronounced kal-iks) is defined as ‘the sepals of a flower, typically forming a whorl that encloses the petals and forms a protective layer around a flower bud’.

The Calyx was built to celebrate the Garden’s 200th birthday in 2016 (PTW Architects / Cockram Construction). Built at the location of the former glass pyramid Tropical Centre, in the Lower Palace Garden, it is an interesting addition to the Roygal Botanic Garden Sydney.
