Wittunga Botanic Garden, Botanical garden in Blackwood, Adelaide, South Australia.

The 13-hectare garden features an extensive collection of water-wise plants from Australia and South Africa, with dedicated sections for each region's flora.

Edwin Ashby established the garden in 1901 as a formal English garden, and his son Keith later donated it to the State in 1965.

The Wittunga Naming Walk presents educational information about plant nomenclature, explaining the scientific origins and characteristics of various species.

Visitors can access free guided walks every Tuesday, starting from the Shepherds Hill Road car park, with wheelchair-accessible paths throughout the garden.

The garden contains two connected ponds supporting Pacific black ducks, Australian wood ducks, and Murray River turtles among native water birds.
