Perhaps it was the time of the year, but felt there wasn't a great variety of plants. Walked down from the cablecar on a pleasant day and found the rose garden at the bottom the best part.

We took the cable car to the top & meandered our way through the gardens. We stopped at the playground & had a go on the swings. The signposting was great & we found ourselves in the Lady Norwood Rose Gardens. Though it was mid Autumn, there were still a few delicious roses in bloom. The cemetery beyond the Rose... More

Was great to find a beautiful, sprawling gardens in the middle of the city, was just a shame your signage was so bad!

We spent half a day at the gardens and it was a good break from the city. We took the tram up the mountain and walked down. The Rose Garden cafe was very good - we had lunch there. The surroundings are lovely.

We took the cable car to the top and enjoyed the view all the way down. People are so friendly and everything was so clean!

Beautiful rose Gardens and lovely greenhouses stocked with a variety of flowers and plants. Loved the orchids and begonias. Lovely walks and love the free shows in the Sound Shell in January - take a picnic and enjoy the music and the park is lit up with coloured lights etc. Café does great food too.

Fantastic tulip display in spring. Great walking trails throughout the gardens. The Begonia House is a highlight with lots more than begonias on display.
