I went to the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney and spent two hours there. It has got beautiful flowering plants and huge trees. Birds are also seen everywhere. Australia has thousands of unique plants. it has rose garden, palm grove, herbarium, fernery etc. it is better to go in the guided tour which takes one and half hour. If you go on your own, you may miss some important plants or trees.
The huge garden has eight entrances. One can walk from Martin Place Metro station and enter the garden opposite to New South Wales state library. One has plenty of opportunities to take photos. In London one must pay a lot to enter the Kew Botanical Gardens. In Sydney it is FREE.
Most of the plants are named ; it will be very useful to Botany students and amateur botanists. There are many statues decorating the gardens.
If one has not got much time, one must see the Must See Plants Section. Fernery has got lot of different types of ferns that can’t be seen in any other part of the world. The Succulent Garden has all the desert cacti plants.
The garden is well maintained and signposted at every junction. One can cover it in two hours.
Apart from the viewing, one can attend talks and special events. Information is available from their website
