The parks and the streets of Melbourne are filled with flowers. Surrounding every cafe, coffee shop, pub, and hotel in Melbourne are vast expanses of greenery. The well-manicured gardens throughout the city offer delightful bursts of color among the gazebos, public sculptures, and fountains.

The botanical gardens in Melbourne are free to the public, which is a sign of a great city. Many of these gardens are close to the center of town, and easily within biking or even walking distance. There are wildlife and bird sanctuaries, and well over twelve thousand species of plants and flowers.

The secret beauty of Melbourne gardens 

In one of the gardens, one can find the actual cottage of James Cook, the early explorer who charted the coast of Australia. 

Other attractions are a greenhouse with colorful floral displays that are changed five times a year, and a bas relief in a Fairy Tree, serving as a testament to the Celtic heritage that many Australians share. There is an abundance of public sculpture here, as is the case throughout the rest of the city.

As if this weren't enough, the summers have Moonlight Cinema, outdoor films shown in a public location that is absolutely spectacular. 

Add to this an observatory, an herbarium, lakes, and rainforest walks, and there's more than one can do in an afternoon. Getting lost in the activities in the gardens is one way to enjoy the city of Melbourne.
