    At the Geelong Botanic Gardens you can learn the names of the plants - both their commmon name and their botanical name.

    You can have a cup of tea or coffee at The Tea House and buy some plants to take home.

    Take a look at the new sculptures and architecture at the new main entrance. Or come in and find the old main entrance, with the original wrought iron name over the gate. Just inside the old main entrance you can meet two of the Bollard people. The original curator is one of the Bollards.

    Walk through the hot houses and view exotic plants as well as local plants. When the pelargoniums are in full flower the display is magnificent.

    The Geelong Botanical Gardens are a short walk from the City. A place for people of all ages. Go there for a peaceful walk in the Park, to learn about geelongs history, a picnic, a cup of coffe and a sandwich, to get away from everything.
    View the regions many varied plant life including Rainforest, 21st Century Garden, and Rose Garden.

    In 1851 about 81 hectares of land was set aside for the Geelong Botanical Gardens but it became impractical with the hot dry summers to develop such a huge area into soley Botanical Gardens and so 2 hectares was developed and then later increased.
