It's difficult these days to find a place where the soil is still wholesome and rich, the air clean and the climate mild. So when garden lovers come to Tasmania they are overwhelmed by the choice of gardens - natural and created.

In Tasmania, you can explore gardens devoted to roses of one type or every type; fields of tulips of rainbow hues; gardens created almost 200 years ago and lined with giant oaks and elms; gardens that focus on plants for unique climatic conditions; or even a valley terraced with lavender.

Rare Native Plants

Or you may want to hunt for the rare trim leaf orchid, once thought to be extinct but recently rediscovered. And there are many other rare plants to find throughout our national parks and forest reserves.

Our island has some of the rarest plants on earth that still survive from millions of years ago.

You can also get personal advice from a garden expert and even stay in a cottage surrounded by a stunning garden.
