Little Bee's Secret Garden

Little Bee's Secret Garden is a native bee demonstration garden that offers practical and hands-on education on Australian native bees, highlighting the urgency to be conscious of the environment, while promoting the value of our native bees.

Reviewed By janepT5717HZ - Hervey Bay, Australia

A beautiful little space tucked away in the heart of Canungra township. Owning our own native bee hive we were very eager to visit Little Bee's Secret Garden. Although we have a bee hive we know very little about native bees and Alex was happy to chat and answer all of our questions. Her knowledge is amazing. We also purchased a very informative book. Bees are essential for our survival and ensuring our food source and it is wonderful to meet someone that is so passionate about native bees and so willing to share her knowledge.

The botanical gardens cover a vast area with a huge array of beautiful flowers, tropical plants and trees of Australia and around the world. It's a lovely green breath of life near the city of Brisbane. Some of the highlights are the geodesic dome, the Japanese gardens, the rainforest and the bamboo forest. Definitely worth a visit and everyone will enjoy the walk and tour of the gardens. It was an unforgettable experience in nature.

Roma Street Parkland

Scenic park located right in the middle of the city features colorful subtropical gardens and Celebration Lawn, a green oasis for picnicking, flying kites or just relaxing.

Reviewed By Radix7 - Sydney, Australia

I am embarrassed! Despite numerous visits to Brisbane over the years- mainly, admittedly, on work - I had failed to visit this wonderful area, and just within walking distance of the city centre. The numerous paths lead through a very diverse garden - views, fountains, ponds, sculptures, trees, shrubs, lawns and beautiful flower beds. A must for any visit I do in future.

A lake, beautiful lawns and trees, a cornucopia of rare plants and flowers, well-designed pathways, and adjacency to the River make this park a perfect location for a pleasurable stroll or peaceful reflection.

Reviewed By 912MichelleA - Brisbane, Australia

We had been before and wanted to return for lunch on the shady verandah where we could take in the gardens and bird calls. The menu has a focus on native ingredients. The granata drinks were welcome on a hot, muggy day. We each settled in to enjoy these accompanied by toasted pannini sandwiches which were delicious. We would have loved to have tried some of the freshly made cakes and sweets, but we just couldn't fit another bit in. Next time that's for sure! It's a great place to take international and interstate visitors to experience the area's fauna and flora. Would 100% recommend the place.

Nerima Gardens

Tucked away in Ipswich's gracious and historical Queens Park is Nerima Gardens - Japanese gardens designed in consultation with Ipswich's Japanese sister city, Nerima. This idyllic retreat is a wonderful way to wind down your visit to Queens Park or take a break between enjoying its other numerous attractions. The picture-perfect self-contained gardens sit behind the historic caretaker's cottage and feature a series of winding paths through fir trees and Australian native plants - some of which are indigenous to Ipswich. There, you'll really appreciate the serenity and aesthetic beauty of the pretty flowers, and experience a model traditional Japanese tea house and a small verandah overlooking a stream. There are also boardwalks over an ornamental lake where you can feel the tranquillity of being serenaded by constant running water.

We go to Nerima Gardens often and always enjoy the manicured, zen, Japanese gardens. Kids love the tea house and waterfall.. Beautiful to go to when the Christmas lights are on. Plenty of parking and combine with a trip to the nature centre too.
