About

The Australian National Botanic Gardens displays the world’s largest collection of Australian native plants. Its living collection comprises more than 78,000 plants from all parts of the country - one third of all Australian species.

A place to visit

The collection is centered on a number of themes offering visitors a fantastic introduction to Australia’s habitats and plant diversity. Plants are grouped by geographic origins ranging from the rainforests of the coast to the iconic landscapes of Australia’s Red Centre or with members of their botanical families. Some areas display Australia’s rare and endangered plants or are grouped for horticultural attributes suggesting ways to develop a garden at home.
