Melbourne Gardens are a city oasis with its green sweeping lawns, peaceful lakes, and magnificent trees. The gardens were established in 1846 and now extend over 36 hectares. They are home to a richly diverse collection of more than 50,000 plants from all over the world, a collection that includes some threatened and rare species.
Melbourne Gardens host numerous events, tours, picnics, and weddings, and are a favorite spot for Melbourne families to spend the weekend. A popular feature with children is The Ian Potter Foundation Children’s Garden, where they can explore the ruin gardens, wetland area, gorge, bamboo forest, rill, plant tunnel, and kitchen garden. More than one million and a half people visit the Melbourne gardens every year.
