Southern Highlands Botanic Gardens

On the edge of Bowral in the cool-climate Southern Highlands, these community-built gardens gather native and exotic plantings that shift with the seasons — spring blossom, autumn colour, deep-winter form. Walking trails loop through the collections and past an on-site nursery growing species suited to the district's frosts, with lawns and a pavilion for gatherings. Volunteer-run and open daily, with free general entry.
