The Gardens: Celebrating Tasmania’s Botanical Treasure 1818 – 2018

The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens is a living collection of more than 4,000 species, and one of Australia’s premier cool climate gardens.

Defined by convict-built structures, its heritage reveals a story of laters: the traditional land of the Muwinina people, a colonial government farm and, more recently, a centre for conservation and community. This book celebrates the people, passion and plants that have blossomed in Tasmania’s treasure during its first 200 years.
