The Gardens Shop

The Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne is a treasured part of Melbourne's cultural life and a valuable asset to the heritage-rich city, attracting approximately 2 million visits a year. Located within this picturesque haven is The Gardens Shop, which offers its visitors a unique "botanic" shopping experience.

With its contemporary, open-plan design, the award winning Gardens Shop is unique not only in its architectural style but also in its location. Where else can you step outside a shop and take a stroll through 38 hectares of magnificent gardens? The Gardens Shop reflects what the gardens are about: nature orientated with a botanical theme - it is the place to shop for botanically-inspired homewares and gifts.

Divided into several sections, the rear gallery specialises in botanical art by successful and emerging Australian artists. There is an extensive book section, featuring books and publications written by Royal Botanic Gardens staff on botany, gardening and horticulture.
