Adelaide Botanic Garden, Botanical garden in Adelaide, Australia.
The 51-hectare garden features numerous pathways through diverse botanical collections, Victorian glasshouses, and formal garden arrangements near Adelaide city center.
Colonel William Light first designated the garden location in 1838, but official establishment occurred in 1857 following public petition to Governor Henry Young.
The garden design incorporates influences from both Royal Gardens at Kew in England and the Gardens of Versailles in France.
The garden maintains specialized areas for drought-resistant plants, orchids, roses, and subtropical species, with 40 percent dedicated to Australian native flora.
The Bicentennial Conservatory, constructed in 1989, stands as the largest single-span glasshouse in the Southern Hemisphere at 100 meters long.
