The garden serves as an urban oasis in Sydney, adorned with ancient towering trees and rolling green lawns. Thanks to the region's favorable climate conditions, the garden has successfully cultivated and showcases over 7,000 species of tropical and subtropical plants, many of which were introduced during the colonial period.

Beyond its diverse collection of flowers and plants, the garden is also home to various charming wildlife that have made this botanical sanctuary their permanent residence.
