Penshurst Botanic Gardens

Penshurst Botanic Gardens, located in Penshurst, Victoria, is a 13-acre oasis that showcases a stunning collection of native and exotic flora.

Nestled within the gardens is the Penshurst Wetland Gardens, a naturally formed wetland with a never-failing spring. Originally established in 1876, the gardens were redeveloped in 1993 to incorporate elements of wetlands from around the world. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful plants and flowers while walking along the paths and observing the wildlife. The wetland eventually forms into a lake, offering breathtaking views of the Grampians and the surrounding landscape. The gardens are open year-round, with spring being the best time to visit due to the vibrant colors and fresh blooms. The Penshurst Botanic Gardens can be easily accessed via the Hamilton Highway, and there is a car park located on Chesswas Street. Whether exploring on foot or from the car, the gardens provide a serene and picturesque setting for relaxation and enjoyment.
