Australian National Botanic Gardens

Australian National Botanic Gardens is a botanic garden in Canberra, the ACT. It's open all year and at its best from September to November.

On the lower slopes of Black Mountain in Acton, these gardens grow only Australian plants, which makes them the best single place in the country to see natives side by side. Spring, September to November, is the peak, when the Proteaceae beds come into flower, including waratahs, an unusual white waratah and grevilleas. The Banksia Garden is the spot for grevilleas and hakeas.
