The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens is Australia's second-oldest established in 1818. These gardens are home to the largest collection of mature conifers in the Southern Hemisphere and it also has the only subantarctic plant house in the world. A great restaurant and cafe is available onsite and it is a wonderful place to visit all year round. Visit our website for more information.

What an absolute delight to be able to witness first-hand sub-Antarctic plant species from the comfort of the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens. This was a quick stop on our plan, but certainly worthy of a mention. The room is chille

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 54 reviews
Tasmania's largest landscaped Native garden winds around the shores of North West Bay. Inverawe enjoys stunning views and contains over 7000 Australian and Tasmanian native plants. There is always something in bloom in this sustainable, low chemical use, waterwise garden. Interpretive signs enhance the experience. Bird watchers have spotted 84 species at Inverawe, including all 12 endemics. Open seven days a week, September through May, other times by arrangement.

We visited as an adult family group on an overcast summer day. The diversity of Tasmanian ecosystems and chorus of native bird life was remarkable for an often overlooked area of northwest bay coastal terrain. The mixture of open grassland with sculptural exhibits and excerpts of poetry, with numerous diverse sections of native flora and understory to grand eucalyptus trees with atmospheric roaring wind in tree-tops was memorable. The extraordinary diversity of birdsong in such a small area also added to a memorable rambling over a few hours. Their publications on local history, poetry, and photography are also well worth a look.

A great boardwalk area, colourful and well maintained. GASP - I didn't read the signs properly on our first visit but did this time. Suddenly things made a bit more sense to me. There is a large parking area, from there you walk past a bird area where I spotted at least 8 different types of birds. There is an interesting art display in the water. Not sure it was working according to the info on the wall. There is also a very nice shelter if the weather should go bad.

Any storybook or Peter Rabbit fan will love this cute little garden that tells it’s story as you walk through it. Cost of admission was very reasonable, gardens were kept neat and tidy. While the overall size of the garden isn’t huge, it’s just about right for telling its story and definitely unique. Young children enjoyed it and we would stop by again next time we are in the area. Perfect pit stop for a long drive or even a short detour.
9. Purple Love
The Purple Love flower field spreads over 90 acres in the south-east region of Tasmania. The flower field here experiences a mildly cool temperate climate and is adjustable to four seasons.Without allowing the field to remain dry, we have maintained the ambience of the surrounding with natural care to the field. Our Gomphrenas are grown in circular paths with 46 concentric cirles.
