Mt Penang Gardens and Parklands

Mount Penang Gardens’ distinctive design by Anton James sets it apart from the traditional botanical garden. His ‘garden within a garden’ produces an understated landscape that is less manicured and in a constant state of being. It continues to evolve today.

Individual ‘gardens’ are set on and around a large sculptural plateau and walled spaces, abstract pergolas, fountains, ponds, cascades and a 35 metre cantilevered steel footbridge.

Along with waterways and stunning summer aquatic gardens, you’ll find that over 70% of the plants are native to Australia. Marvel at the creative ways in which modern landscapes and Australian native flora blend together to produce amazing seasonal displays.

There is something new to experience all year round as you meander through the Gardens. You can hug a bulbous Bottle Tree, wonder at the Dragon Garden’s strange cacti and succulents, be fascinated by the Wondabyne Stone Sculptures or admire the stunning water lilies and lotus flowers in our Aquatic Garden.

Every pathway opens up a new world of discovery at Mount Penang Gardens.
