Veale Gardens

Veale Gardens is a public garden in Adelaide featuring winding pathways that lead through planted areas with water features, seasonal flowers, and over 50 rose varieties. The space is divided into different themed sections, each with its own plantings and water elements.

The garden takes its name from William Charles Douglas Veale, who served as Adelaide's Town Clerk from 1947 to 1965. This naming honors his contribution to the city's administration during an important period of urban development.

The Adelaide-Qingdao Rose Garden features a monument marking the sister city relationship between Adelaide and Qingdao in China. This installation reflects the city's international connections and creates a meeting point for visitors from different cultures.

Access is available through multiple entrances on South Terrace, where visitors can use walking paths, public restrooms, and parking areas. The pathways are well-maintained and allow comfortable exploration of the different garden sections at your own pace.

The gardens house a native bee hotel that supports local pollinators and contributes to ecological balance in the urban area. This initiative demonstrates how a garden can actively support local wildlife conservation.
