Overview
Within these gardens is a colourful collection of exotic and native plants to delight the eye, and an atmosphere to calm the soul. The site was chosen for a public garden in 1828, with fertile soil producing healthy crops for the penal settlement. In 1855 botanist Walter Hill declared botanical gardens would occupy the area. Some of Hill's plantings from the 1850s remain on Residence Hill and the weeping figs on Walter Hill Walk were planted by the botanist in the 1870s. Hungry visitors may enjoy a meal from the Gardens Café, housed in the caretaker's hut built in 1903.
Just loved the whole experience! Great place to see! It would have been nice to have routes painted on the sidewalk so it would have been easier to see where I was going.
I live very close to the park and use it as part of my daily walk. I am planing on using it for my wedding ceremony next year. The grounds are simply stunning.
IT WAS ABOUSALOTLY FAUBLOUS PLACE DID I, I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Walking through the garden was fantastic and unless you looked back you wouldn't even know you were right in the city. Lots of interesting sites with places to rest and eat. It was fantastic.
Having stayed opposite the Garden many times I can recommend it as a must visit location.Situated alongside the Brisbane river, it can also be accessed by the Goodwill footbridge from the South Bank Parklands.
