Keilor Botanic Gardens

Keilor Botanic Gardens is a botanical garden in Keilor Park dedicated to showcasing Australian native plants across expansive grounds. Walking paths wind through the plantings, allowing visitors to move through different sections and observe the vegetation up close.

This garden was established in 1982 to protect plant species that grew naturally in the area. It was created as part of a broader reserve designed to safeguard the local plant life.

The gardens serve as a place where visitors can discover which plants naturally belong to this part of Australia and see how they grow together in their native environment. Local families often visit to spend time outdoors and develop a connection to the landscape around them.

The gardens are free to visit year-round and open without requiring advance planning or reservations. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended since exploring the space involves moving along paths throughout the grounds.

The grounds contain specimens of Hakea petiolaris and Banksia media, plants adapted to Australia's dry conditions. These examples show visitors how certain native species have evolved special features to survive in their natural habitat.
