About this location
Covering a 15-hectare site, the community funded and operated Southern Highlands Botanic Gardens were leased from the council in 2015 and remain in the works.
Planned by landscape architects Taylor Cullity Lethlean, areas developed to date include the Birch Grove, home to a collection of 22 types of silver birch trees; the Winter Garden, a haven for blue fairy wrens, Eastern spinebills and thornbills; the Meadow Labyrinth, designed by local artist Jane Cush and a fun activity for kids; the Foundation Walk, a collection of crab apples; and the Oak Rondell, which features a circle of oaks and weeping boxwoods.
A number of sculptures are scattered throughout the gardens and a wheelchair-accessible picnic shelter, playground and nursery are also located on site.
