What a hidden gem! Gardens are well maintained with easy walk trails. Heaps of seating/resting spaces along the trail. Plenty of outdoor space for a picnic too. Bonus butterfly sanctuary also. Beautiful garden and indoor space where you can hold functions at a decent cost. Entry is currently $3 pp if you are just browsing.

$3 entry and a good couple of parking soaces if you wish to hire the venue. The garden itself was nice. Lots of benches and seating if you wish to rest or have some time of reflection? There is a native tree loop track, and other tracks with different trees and plants from different countries. Loved the flowers here. As for the butterflies, none spotted when I was there.

A quaint little garden hidden in the a residential area. Needs a little more development but has potential to be a lovely secret spot to take the kids. There's a small butterfly enclosure with a few Monarchs.

This place is absolutely beautiful. It's cared for by so many lovely people too. It is smaller than expected though so we always go during quieter hours. Can't wait to go during butterfly season :)

I'm so happyyyyy! This place is beautiful. I was there a few months ago, and there weren't any butterflies, but today there were dozens! It's so peaceful to just relax in the butterfly house and explore the beautiful vast gardens
