Blue Lotus Garden, Seasonal water garden in Yarra Junction, Australia
Blue Lotus Garden is a water garden in Yarra Junction featuring multiple artificial lakes and ponds where lotus flowers and water lilies grow. The site includes various glasshouses with tropical plants and native Australian species.
The garden was created in the early 2000s and is based on a lotus concept inspired by botanical traditions. Since its opening, the location has grown into a recognized attraction for visitors wanting to explore water and plant worlds.
The garden takes its name from the blue lotus flowers that draw visitors throughout the year. People come here to spend time with nature and find quiet moments among the water features and planted areas.
The garden is open only during the warmer months from December to April with earlier closing times on weekdays compared to weekends. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the site has many paths and viewpoints to explore.
A standout feature is the Amazonian House, which displays giant water lilies with leaf diameters reaching about 1.2 meters, originating from South America. These unusually large plants are a highlight for many visitors, something they cannot find in most other gardens.
