St Kilda Botanical Gardens

I visit often. It's a great spot for children, people watching, plants and a good wonder about. Had many a picnic here. Much appreciated.

Had to put this review as this place was my escape to nature during my 3 years in st kilda. You will definitely feel close to nature if you visit this place. Very nicely maintained and perfectly crafted to make you make you fall in love with place.

Beautiful place with a lot of open space for outdoor activities. Lots of picnic area, good for walking and for dogs walk.

The Saint Kilda Botanic Garden in Melbourne is a true gem. As soon as you enter, you're greeted by a beautifully landscaped garden with an impressive variety of plants, flowers, and trees. The garden is well-maintained and has plenty of benches to sit and enjoy the scenery. There's also a small pond with ducks and other wildlife, which adds to the peaceful atmosphere.One of the highlights of the garden is the conservatory, which houses a stunning collection of exotic plants. The conservatory is well-designed and maintained, and the plants are labeled, which is helpful for those who are interested in learning more about them.Overall, I highly recommend visiting the Saint Kilda Botanic Garden. It's a great place to take a leisurely stroll, have a picnic, or simply enjoy the beauty of nature.

There are many aspects of St Kilda Gardens that I appreciate, but there is something remarkably enchanting about visiting this botanical oasis during autumn.The immediate transformation one experiences upon stepping into the park is breathtaking. As the autumn hues set in, the park is lit up with a warm palette of red, orange, and gold that harmoniously complements the clear blue skies of the season. From the rustling of leaves underfoot to the pleasant aroma of the earth, every moment spent here in autumn is a sensory delight.The gardens are impeccably maintained, with each tree, flower bed, and grassy knoll reflecting the attention and care invested by the dedicated gardeners. The orderly paths meandering throughout invite you to explore and immerse yourself in nature's tranquillity, providing a serene retreat from the bustle of city life.I also want to highlight the excellent amenities at St Kilda Gardens. Clean, well-situated benches offer plenty of spots to sit, reflect, and appreciate the surrounding beauty. The café within the gardens provides a variety of refreshments, making it a perfect spot for a cozy outdoor lunch or a warm cup of coffee on a crisp autumn day.

Beautiful Botanical Garden in St. Kilda. lots of picnic area and Rose Garden. good for walking and for dogs walk.

Super special place .An oasis in the city .Interesting foliage and cacti .Gardeners have done a wonderful job it’s lush well maintained but not overly sculptured .Lovely environment to be alone otherwise with a group writing,rehearsing ,picnics or just breathing in and appreciating nature .

Great garden in St Kilda, gardens and and grass areas are a good size and well maintained, the grass is soft and plenty of shaded areas to sit.The toilets are horrible though so don't go here if you're looking for a bathroom....

Lots of trees, lots of birds, lots of seating, a small lake, and a tiny glimpse of what may be a Japanese style garden. The rosegarden is nice but sometimes smells of fertiliser. Too many paths around the northern end of the park, but there's no connecting path around the southern end. Give the resident drunks a wide berth, or they might throw their empties at you.

A very nice location for shooting wedding photo portraits and videos. So many nice little pockets of trees, bushes and frames that are very easy to work with. I have only been here when the weather is very nice, so the light is always very easy. If the weather was bad, well, who knows ha ha ha...Also, while I was visiting most recently, there were signs up for the 'Sunset Cinema'. I didn't get to see it, but I think it would be very nice :)
