The story of Myall Park Botanic Garden is one of romance, vision and generosity. Mr David Gordon (1899-2001), founder of the Garden was a keen amateur botanist. He knew that if there were closely related plants of the same genus from widely different geographic areas growing in close proximity, there was a high chance of natural hybridisation occurring. The park is famous for Mr Gordon's floral discoveries and hybrid creations.

Myall Park Botanic Garden is a place of inspiration for the lovers of nature and art. The park's gallery holds a stunning botanical collection of watercolour paintings that date back to the founding years of the garden.

Myall Park Botanic Garden is home to one of Australia's oldest collections of native plants. Notably the three superb hybrid grevilleas that were spontaneously created in the garden by it's founder David Gordon.
