ROYAL BOTANIC GARDENs
Established in 1816, the Royal Botanic Garden is Australia's oldest scientific institution and a verdant oasis in the bustling city center. Spanning 30 hectares, this urban sanctuary boasts an impressive collection of native and exotic plants, meticulously curated gardens, and stunning harbor views.
Visitors can explore themed areas such as the Oriental Garden, the Palm Grove, and the Fernery, each offering unique botanical experiences. The garden also features important historical landmarks, including Mrs. Macquarie's Chair, a sandstone bench carved for Governor Macquarie's wife in the early 19th century.
Educational programs and guided tours are available for those keen to learn more about the garden's rich history and diverse plant life. The garden plays a crucial role in plant conservation and research, housing the National Herbarium of New South Wales and contributing to global efforts to protect endangered species.
