Especially unique are the extensive Tasmanian native collections, which provide examples that can be used by visitors to identify plants they have encountered in the wild, and includes many rare and threatened species.

Many areas of the Gardens are available for hire for private functions. For information on hiring, view the Venue Hire page.
