The new 6 hectare extension was officially opened only a few weeks ago. The Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne are dedicated to Australian flora and the new area showcases many exciting designs, including a dry garden. As well, there will be the opportunity to enjoy the delights of Spring throughout the remainder of the gardens. Walking shoes would be worth considering.
