Overview
What better way to counteract all that CBD hustle and bustle than by partaking in some serious park time? Just a quick stroll beyond Parliament House, East Melbourne's Fitzroy Gardens are not only an oasis of rolling green grounds, they're also home to The Conservatory, an iconic Melbourne tourist attraction filled with greenery and some of the city's most attractive examples of nature. Kicking on since 1930 and hosting five displays each year, this is the place of your plant-loving dreams. Right now, head in to live an endless summer, as you feast your eyes and nose on the tropical poinsettia collection, and gain some inspiration for your at-home conservatory (you'll no doubt be hankering to build one after your visit).
