Mount Lofty Botanic Garden
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
First opened in 1977, the crescent-shaped Mount Lofty Botanic Garden is situated on 97 hectares on the eastern slopes of Mount Lofty in the Adelaide Hills east of Adelaide in South Australia. The cooler, wetter location suits plants from temperate climates which are difficult to grow on the Adelaide Plains. Amongst the native Australian flora are cultivated plants from cool climates including Rhododendron and Magnolia and the National Species Rose Collection. Mount Lofty Botanic Garden is one of three gardens that comprise the Botanic Gardens of Adelaide.
