Australian Botanic Gardens Shepparton
Natural Attractions
Explore and enjoy the beauty of the evolving Australian Botanic Gardens Shepparton. The former landfill is being regenerated into a showcase of Australian native plants set amongst distinct themed gardens and bushland. The gardens are designed to represent the cultural, environmental, historical and agricultural characteristics of the Shepparton and Goulburn Valley region.
The site consists of native grassy bushland, wetlands, and a seven hectare, 30 metre-high reclaimed landfill area with a lookout on top. This provides an expansive view of the local landscape and forms a significant landmark on the outskirts of the city, adjacent to the Goulburn and Broken Rivers.
There are a range of trails suitable for walking or cycling through the gardens. Climb up high to the top of Honeysuckle Rise where the lookout offers an expansive view above the treetops across local landscapes. Stroll through the beautifully designed themed gardens. Zig-zag down the Zig-Zag path to admire the sculptural beauty of the Weaving Garden, and meander through regenerated bushland on the River and Native Forest walks.
With seasonal changes and the ongoing development of new gardens and installations, there is always something new to see and enjoy at the Australian Botanic Gardens.
