Geelong Botanic Gardens, Botanical gardens in Geelong, Australia
The Geelong Botanic Gardens span 7 hectares within Eastern Park, featuring diverse plant collections from global climatic regions and modern garden sculptures.
Established in 1850 as Australia's fourth oldest botanic garden, the site was originally managed by curator Daniel Bunce who introduced a conservatory and artificial lake.
The gardens maintain a connection to the Wathaurong people, who stewarded this land for over 25,000 years before its designation as a public space.
Visitors can explore the gardens daily, with the Friends' Plant Nursery operating every Wednesday from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM for plant purchases.
The 2002 renovation introduced an arid section with Queensland Bottle Trees and native species, supported by a 28-megaliter annual irrigation system.
