Only minutes from the centre of Canberra is the world’s most diverse collection of Australian plants – more than 4300 different species growing in a stunning bushland setting.

It’s a place where locals and visitors to our nation’s capital come to explore, learn, relax and enjoy time with friends or family in a tranquil natural environment.

Visit the Gardens to:

• Take a botanical journey across Australia from the coastal rainforests to the red centre.
• Have a picnic under the eucalypts or enjoy lunch with a view at the award-winning Pollen cafe.
• Wander the boardwalks and the many bush tracks, or join a guided tour to learn more about the Australian environment.
• Get a rosellas-eye view from the Paperbark Treehouse and discover the importance of biodiversity on the ‘Who Did That?’ children’s trail.
• Take in an exhibition at the gallery or attend one of our regular workshops and events.

The Gardens offer a great day out for families, couples and groups of all ages and abilities.
