Wagga Wagga Botanic Gardens

Wagga Wagga Botanic Gardens, Botanical garden in Wagga Wagga, Australia.

Wagga Wagga Botanic Gardens occupies a 20-hectare site on the south-western slopes of the Willans Hill Reserve in Turvey Park, entered from Macleay Street near Lord Baden Powell Drive. Its themed areas include a camellia garden, a cactus and succulent garden, a native flora section, a bamboo garden, a Shakespearean garden and a tree chapel, alongside a music bowl, a small zoo with a walk-through aviary and the Willans Hill Miniature Railway.

Planning for the gardens began in 1961, and they were established in 1969 on a site of 8.9 hectares. In 1988 the camellia garden opened as a bicentennial project, together with the Cacti and Succulent Garden, an Elizabethan-themed garden funded by the Shakespearian Society of Wagga Wagga, and the Tree Chapel, an outdoor church used for weddings.

The camellia garden was planted in 1988 as a bicentennial project and holds a decorated traditional Chinese pavilion, a bicentennial gift from Wagga Wagga's sister city Kunming. Nearby, the Shakespearean garden was funded by the Shakespearian Society of Wagga Wagga, and the Tree Chapel is a working outdoor church used for weddings.

The gardens are open daily, from 7:30 to 16:15 in winter and 7:30 to 20:00 in summer. Entry is via Macleay Street near the corner of Lord Baden Powell Drive, on the south-western slopes of Willans Hill Reserve. The Museum of the Riverina stands next to the gardens on Lord Baden Powell Drive.

The Willans Hill Miniature Railway shares the 20-hectare Willans Hill Reserve site with the gardens, alongside a music bowl and a small zoo with a walk-through aviary. The gardens were established in 1969 on 8.9 hectares and have since grown to 20 hectares.
