The Gardens are open from 7.30am to 4.30pm week days and 10:30am to 4:30pm weekends. While the Gardens are still in the early stages of development, admission is free, but donations are welcome. Pamphlets, provided at the Entrance, the Homestead Visitor Centre and the Rose Garden car park, allow visitors to take self-guided tours. Disabled access to the Rose Garden and other areas can be arranged: telephone (03) 5023 3612, or e-mail aibgmw@hotkey.net.au. On weekends, members of the AIBG’s support group, Friends of the Gardens, provide tea, coffee, and other refreshments at the historic mid 19th Century bush homestead ‘Garnpang’. The homestead was restored and re-erected on the Gardens site in 1993. Visitors can also buy handcrafts and cards featuring flowers grown in the Gardens. Unique amongst Australian botanic gardens, the Australian Inland Botanic Gardens displays its plants by geographic region. However, plants from a very broad range of latitudes and environments thrive in Sunraysia’s warm, dry climate and well-drained soils. Since 1988, more than 20,000 plants have been planted in Stage 1, a 48-hectare development in former mallee-chenopod (saltbush) woodland, features species from the floras of Africa, Europe, Asia, North and South America, New Zealand and Australia. |
