Botanic Gardens

The City Botanic Gardens (formerly the Brisbane Botanic Gardens) is a botanical garden in Brisbane, Australia.

It is located on Gardens Point in the Brisbane CBD and is bordered by the Brisbane River, Alice Street, George Street, Parliament House and QUT’s Gardens Point campus.

The Gardens include Brisbane’s most mature gardens, with many rare and unusual botanic species. In particular the Gardens feature a special collection of cycads, palms, figs and bamboo.

The Queensland Heritage Register describes the Gardens as “the most significant, non-Aboriginal cultural landscape in Queensland, having a continuous horticultural history since 1828, without any significant loss of land area or change in use over that time.

The City Botanic Gardens remains the premier public park and recreational facility for the capital of Queensland, which role it has performed since the early 1840s.
