The Friends of Geelong Botanic Gardens reviews
52Loved walking around these gardens with all plants in flower, also the glass house & the indoor plants was amazing
Nottoo big, but there is a beautiful variety of flowering plants at this time of year to see and enjoy
Fever Candlelight Concert - Geelong West Town Hall
Always high quality show - great value as well. This is a great venue because parking is easy and it’s close to lots of great spots to eat as well
Lovely gardens. Don't forget the aeroguard. Mosquitoes bad. Nursery not open every day.
A beautiful garden with a many varieties of plants and trees.
A good, calm place to enjoy the nature.
Variety of plants and flowers. Glass house is full of different plants but watch out for mosquito's. Walkways winding through the gardens. Water features not running when we were there and tearoom was closed for renovations. Grassed areas to relax on, in sun or shade. Easy walk to foreshore.
Always a pleasure to watch the talented actors perform in the beautiful Botanical gardens of Geelong. We're so lucky to have such a stunning and well looked after place to enjoy with the family
The plants are spectacular! Such a great variety of colours and species that appear well looked after. The water fountains went well with the garden and shaded areas are great for avoiding the heat in Summer. Really enjoyed the different sections of the garden that are adapted to suit different climate conditions like the glasshouse for tropical gardens and a sandy area for arid environment plants.
First visit to this botanical garden. It is a compact but full of variety of flora in this garden. Most of plants, flowers and shrubs cam be found here. However, as i m not a botanist, i may be wrong. Surely, it is dilligently arranged based by climatic zone. It also has temperature controlled room for tropical one. Tho, it has less green area to sit down and picnic inside the garden but outside, it has plenty room. 2 car parks on the side of enterance door.
Surely it is recommended for anyone including for relaxation and learning even just jogging.
Really nice area lots of colours and a fresh air smell that you can't find anywhere else in geelong
Beautiful, no matter what the season or weather! So many trees, flowering shrubs, even herbs and legumes, plus wide expanses of lush green lawns. Lots of seats to stop, rest, watch the birds etc. The tearooms/coffee shop serves very good coffee and food for a light lunch or a snack (but do NOT feed any birds!)
Beautiful and extensive botanical gardens. There is such a range of plants in these gardens including the wonderful 21st Century garden. You could enjoy several hours here.
Really great botanical garden. Really enjoyable stroll. It has a better layout than Melbourne royal Botanic gardens imo. Kid friendly areas to explore and engage with the spaces.
Lion Emily married her school boy friend Kai Mayer April 14th. The gardens took the romaticism to a new level. Magical! Beyond all dreams.
I love these gardens.very tranquil with a small tea house so you can stop and have a rest.perfectly pretty place
Great sale on Wednesday mornings. Very good value plants and helpful volunteers. Great variety. And a lovely walk through gardens with coffee at the cafe. Great place.
A pleasant park for a stroll or relaxing on the grass but the plant species on display lacked identity tags. (That's a lovely plant but what is it.) Nice to get refreshments at the tiny cafe but their limited menu is nothing to write home about.
Crazy cacti, beaut boabs, fantastic ferns and other pretty epic stuff! Definitely worth a visit for a stroll and picnic!
Beautiful gardens with plenty of places to explore. Includes a tropical hot house and has a nice cafe for a coffee and something to eat. A really nice place to bring the kids and have a picnic.
