Today, we explored the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne, Australia!
The Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, Melbourne Gardens has been a cherished part of the city’s cultural landscape for over 170 years, beloved by locals and visitors from across Australia and around the world. Spanning 38 hectares, it offers not only a peaceful retreat for recreation but also serves as a key resource for education, conservation, science, and horticulture. The gardens feature an impressive collection of over 8,500 plant species, including stunning varieties like camellias, rainforest flora, succulents, roses, Californian plants, herbs, perennials, and cycads. You’ll even find rare and threatened species from south-eastern Australia.
Voted ‘Australia’s Best Major Tourism Attraction’ at the QANTAS Australian Tourism Awards, the heritage-listed Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne and the contemporary native Australian Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne, offer a plethora of unique outdoor experiences. From a punt ride on the lake, or a relaxing picnic under the oaks, to a guided cultural walk or explorer bus ride along the many meandering trails, there’s always something new to enjoy.
These gardens are home to extraordinary landscapes, innovative public programming and world-leading plant science and conservation research. Beyond their physical beauty, the Gardens also contribute to global and local biodiversity knowledge, through research, discovery, protection, cultivation and restoration of rare and threatened plant species, both ex-situ and in the bushland, and as the insurance policy for a state’s unique flora pre- and post-bushfire recovery.
If you’ve never been to Melbourne, I highly recommend visiting the Royal Botanic Gardens. It’s easily one of the top things to do in the city. With so many activities and sights to explore in Melbourne, a stroll through this lush, vibrant garden is the perfect way to begin your adventure.
