Banksia and Grevillea Gardens

Set in a cool moist sheltered gully, this lush garden includes well known Australian plant groups including grevilleas, waratahs, banksias, hakeas and rainforest species.

Plantings here showcase the best of the Botanic Garden’s extensive grevillea collection, many of which were supplied by the Grevillea Study Group of the Australian Plants Society. Dry stone walls in the garden have been constructed by participants in weekend workshops.

Both banksias and grevilleas attract many nectar feeding birds, adding to the Garden's bird diversity. It is a favourite site for families escaping the heat of a summer's day. Cool creekline walks, barbecues, two picnic shelters and toilet facilities are available.
