 Mid season at the Gardens
Our display of lotus and waterlily flowers are still looking impressive, especially considering we are now over halfway through the flowering season. One of the real features this time of year is the Giant Amazon Waterlilies (one of the largest waterlily species in the world). Both plants have plenty of large lily pads to admire with some measuring up to 1.3m in diameter. Hundreds of other exotic plants are also blooming across the gardens adding to the magical experience.
New in 2024 our team of landscapers has created a new 50m long artificial creek that cascades through a new garden of rainforest plants and ferns. We’ve also added more artistic sculptures and water features. And for the little ones, we have expanded the fairy garden and family space adding more fun things for the kids to explore like Todd’s Tree House and Giant Chess.


NEW hospitality services for garden visitors
Please Note: The garden’s café and other ammenities are located inside the gardens and provided exclusively for visitors with a garden ticket. 
This season we welcome new operators of the garden’s café and ice cream kiosk services which are provided exclusively for garden visitors. The highly experienced team from 3 Sugars Café in Warburton have come onboard offering visitors a new dine-in menu that features a range of house made meals, snacks, treats and drinks.
