The first time we arrived there you will see how the place was loved by a tourist and a locals.there you will see the beautiful different preserved trees,plants and flowers.very relaxing place to spend with family and friends.i can see not only adult but children as well enjoying the ambiance of that place.its really wonderful to see different colorful flowers that blooms, plants and trees that grows.people loves to have a picture taken of their family would recommend this place for anyone who plans to visit.they also have a souvenir shop and can buy plants.

What a beautiful place to spend time walking among nature. There are easy walking paths as well as tracks for those who are more stable on their feet and want to explore a little further. Very peaceful and a delight to behold. unfortunately the cafe wasn't open but other than that a great experience.

Springtime in these gardens is glorious. Miles of azaleas, massive rhododendrons of every hue, the last of the cherry blossom and the new Chelsea Australian garden. All well worth the visit. BUT don’t bother with the overpriced, slow service and poor range (“sorry we’re not doing that today”) cafe. There are lovely cafés in Olinda.

My wife and I visited this Garden for the second time, during our recent holiday in Mount Dandenong where we stayed in a holiday cottage. We were here last year and enjoyed our visit so much that we decided to visit again. The autumn weather was perfect for walking and we walked across the entire Garden, including the section called Messmate Forest, which is located at the far end of the Garden. This section is similar to bushwalking. We will return again next year for another visit because there is a new section called Chelsea Garden, which was not ready for opening at the time of our visit.
