Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens

The sheltered, landscaped grounds of the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens hold historic plant collections and a large number of significant trees, many dating from the nineteenth century.

Enjoy the perfect day out in Tasmania's premier garden, unique flora, Subantarctic Plant House, Conservatory, Japanese Garden and Botanical Discovery Centre. Dine at the restaurant or picnic in the tranquil surroundings. Some parts of the Gardens have become sites of significance for people who have made them the scenes of their celebrations and festivities both public and private.

Although 330,000 people a year visit the gardens, the impression of peace and solitude, not crowds, is the one that remains with the visitor. At the Botanical Discovery Centre are interactive displays that include information of the rich and diverse Tasmanian flora, including their distribution and how to propagate them.

The Botanical Discovery Centre is home to the work of Tasmanias most famous wilderness photographer, Peter Dombrovskis.
