Adelaide's Botanic Gardens are well worth a visit, although, being here in the winter I clearly didn't see them at their best. The gardens are well laid out, with a number of interesting buildings including the Museum of Economic Botany, Amazon Waterlily Pavillion, and Palm House, Tropical Rain Forest. Its close to the centre of the city, so easy to get there on foot.
The gardens are very well laid out and central to the city. They are very popular with visitors and locals alike. Flower bed areas were very well looked after. We particularly enjoyed the Australian Wine Museum which is situated within the gardens and is very informative about the industry in the local area and beyond.
This is a good place to see mature trees and a wide range of native plants growing in spacious surrounds, there are glass houses where there are dry cacti.
We visited in June which is winter. Without a guide, if you are not knowledgeable, you would not know what you were looking at -just pleasant greenery. In summer - so I am told there are breathtaking flowers. Not so in winter as the Garden is short of funds.
We took a one hour free tour with a volunteer who was very keen, knew every inch of the place, every hidden flower , clearly an expert in botanical wisdom and also understood the historical significance of some of the trees and plants. It really was an inspirational hour. And FREE!
From the old conservatory to the new trpical conservatory, magnificient water features with birds surround by labelled planting, dessert climate plantings, and not forgetting the amazing morten bay fig trees and of course the wisteria arbours what's not to like!?
