About the George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens
The Gardens was established 130 years ago to introduce and evaluate plants for food and flavour to a small developing community and has since become important in the recreational and scientific life of the city.
They have survived numerous cyclones and the direct effects of World War Two. The site extends inland from the sea to a plateau providing a range of planting environments and is one of a few botanic gardens in the world which has marine and estuarine plants naturally in its grounds.
The location of the gardens is within the Fannie Bay cultural and recreational precinct and places it amongst primary tourist venues. Being close to sea, sand and sports facilities visitors can experience a continuum of activities from highly active to quietly passive.
