Mother's Day at the Gardens

Celebrate with a special meal at The Observatory, opening early May. This bold all-day dining destination by The Darling Group dishes up Mediterranean flavour with a uniquely Melbourne energy. The menu is seasonal and designed to share, from refined brunch staples to woodfired pizzas and handmade pasta.

Visit our Garden Shop for unique gifts, including our new collaboration with artist Fleur Harris, just in time for Mother's Day.

Celebrate Mum somewhere truly special. The Terrace at the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne invites you to a Mother's Day High Tea - a curated spread of tartlets, tea cakes, and savoury bites, with a welcome tea or coffee on arrival to toast the occasion.

Treat Mum to a delicious buffet breakfast or set lunch at Boon Wurrung Café, featuring dishes inspired by native ingredients.

Only dropping in for a quick treat? How about a glass of bubbles and an Eton Mess for just $18!

With over ten kilometres of walking tracks and six kilometres of cycling tracks through beautiful remnant bushland, Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne is the perfect place to spend Mother's Day.

Celebrate Mother’s Day surrounded by nature – pack your own picnic, fire up the BBQ, or treat yourself to a delicious picnic box or BBQ pack from Boon Wurrung Café. Relax, unwind, and make the day extra special in one of our beautiful bushland picnic spots.
