VISITOR INFORMATION

WALKWAYS & PROMINENT GARDENS

HISTORY & FORMATION

The Botanic Gardens at Tamborine Mountain were established in 1983 as an initiative of the Tamborine Mountain Garden Club.

Tamborine Mountain Regional Botanic Gardens

The delightful Tamborine Mountain Regional Botanic Gardens are a must-see experience on any visit to the region.

A short drive through the hinterland west from the Gold Coast, the Botanic Gardens combine a colourful and diverse range of exotic and native flora. The Gardens include a glorious lake as the centrepiece, a tranquil Japanese garden, a tropical rainforest walk and many other delights.

Bring a picnic, bring the children, take a stroll along the many walks and learn why the Tamborine Mountain Regional Botanic Gardens are truly where Tropical meets Temperate.

The Gardens are supported, maintained and administered by volunteers and are some of the most dynamic and active people promoting the values and enjoyment of gardening in south-east Queensland.
