Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, Melbourne Gardens

Melbourne Gardens, beside the Yarra and the Domain, covers 38 hectares and around 8,500 plant species. Spring is its peak, with magnolias, rhododendrons, camellias and flowering cherries around the lake, and native beds with waratahs, banksias and kangaroo paws. It's free and a short tram ride from the city, so it suits a lunchtime walk as well as a full afternoon. Being confirmed
