The Royal Botanic Gardens have become world-famous for their spectacular vistas across sweeping lawns and lakes. Every visitor will enjoy a walk around the Ornamental Lake with its teeming native bird-life, however there is much more to see at Melbourne’s most popular garden attraction.
The mild climate of this city, combined with a long history of plant collection from around the world, has allowed an immense range of plants from across Australia and the world to be brought together at the Royal Botanic Gardens.
Plants are displayed in major groupings, or "collections". The Botanic Gardens’ major plant collections include the Australian Rainforest Walk, Cacti & Succulents, Californian Collection, Camellia Collection, Cycads, Eucalypts, Fern Gully, Grey Garden, Herb Garden, Long Island, Oaks, New Zealand Collection, Perennial Border, Species rose, Tropical Display Glasshouse, Viburnum Collection and the Water Conservation Garden.
