Mt. Coot-tha Botanical Gardens

Hello faithful readers.

If you ever decide to come over for a visit there is one place you have to absolutely visit. It’s the Mt. Coot-tha Botanical Gardens. We’ve visited lots of parks and gardens around the world—New York, Paris, Keukenhof, Kuala Lumpur—but these are the best yet. They combine European structure and sense of space with U.S. size and variety. These gardens are also over 30 years old, so they are generally mature, well-established plant communities.



Lots of paths wind in and out revealing great little nooks and quiet spots for reading, resting and/or contemplating. Célia will love this place. We recommend the Fern House and the Tropical Plants Dome. Make sure you bring a lunch with you, because even a quick trip will take a few hours.



We give the Botanical Gardens a rare and prestigious Adams rating of 4.5 stars out of 5. The only drawback is that not every area is wheelchair accessible.
