Overview
Could this be St Kilda's best-kept secret? An educational eco centre, a subtropical rainforest conservatory, a giant chessboard and public artwork all find a home in the St Kilda Botanical Gardens, which is tucked on the suburb's border with Elwood.
Formally established as botanical gardens in 1859, this significant green space is also home to over 800 mature tree specimens, as well as seasonal displays and native flora that make the perfect backdrop for a picnic.
The park also houses lovely walking tracks and a bevy of bird and animal life, including rarely seen birds like the rainbow lorikeet and crested pigeon.
