The site of these botanic gardens was selected in 1866.  The early development of the gardens owes much to Charles Scoborio, curator, and Government botanist Ferdinand von Mueller.

If you would like to organise an event in the gardens please go to the Function Bookings page, contact Warrnambool City Council or send an email.  Here endure twenty acres of tranquil gardens, providing the people of Warrnambool with a great source of municipal pride and a timeless place of pleasure and interest for future generations.
