St Kilda Botanical Gardens, Botanical garden in St Kilda, Australia.
The gardens span 6 hectares with an ornamental pond, subtropical rainforest conservatory, eco-centre, and the Alister Clark Rose Garden with diverse plant collections.
Established in 1859 on a former gravel pit and rubbish dump site, the gardens opened to the public in 1861 following extensive landscaping efforts.
The gardens feature eight trees listed on the significant tree register and accommodate 810 mature specimens, representing both Australian and international species.
Four decorated metal gates provide entry points along Tennyson, Dickens, and Herbert Streets, with facilities including a playground and giant chessboard for visitors.
The Rain Man fountain, installed in 2005, operates entirely on solar power and uses recycled water from the adjacent ornamental pond.
