The Cairns Botanic Gardens are located on Collins Avenue in Edge Hill, 4km from the City Centre
Welcome to the Cairns Botanic Gardens, which is renowned for having one of the best exhibitions in Australia of tropical plants. The collections within the gardens reflect our tropical diversity with plants, including specimens from Northern Australian rainforests, along with plants from the steamy jungles of South East Asia, South America and Africa which easily adapt to the warm, wet climate of Cairns.
Cairns Botanic Gardens comprise 3 main areas; the Flecker Garden, Centenary Lakes and Mount Whitfield Conservation Park.
The Cairns Botanic Gardens and Centenary Lakes make the perfect outdoor setting for Weddings and other ceremonies.
Other services available are Guided Tours and Talks for educational purposes, commercial filming and photography.
For booking enquiries, please phone Marcelle Evenden on 07 4032 6650 or email at gardens@cairns.qld.gov.au
