Australian Garden
 | The award winning Australian Garden is a place where visitors can immerse themselves in Australian flora, landscapes, art and architecture. This amazing new garden features a gallery of exhibition gardens, sculpture and displays - all highlighting the beauty and diversity of our Australian landscape. The Australian Garden features approximately 100,000 plants, including 1000 trees, in 15 different landscape displays and exhibition gardens. Visitors can enjoy learn about how to use Australian plants at home, by talking to one of our Volunteer Master Gardeners, or by joining a tour with one of our knowledgeable guides. At the Boonerwurrung Café visitors can enjoy delicious snacks and meals, while taking in the views of the Australian Garden. The Gardens Shop offers a wide range of botanically themed gifts, books and artworks.
