Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, Hobart

I thoroughly enjoyed the gardens, it almost has a magical quality to it, I've been there in two of the seasons and I honestly just cannot wait for the season to change so I get to experience it all over again. It does have toilets, it is free although donations are appreciated and it has a huge eatable section that just fills me with joy being able to take my knowledge and expand and taste. Also it has a special sub Antarctic garden you need to see to believe very cool, pun intended.

I am not a garden person and am visiting from Canada. The garden is well laid out, with specific locations for plants from a large variety of regions. Good labelling for people like myself with some background in spots for some of the sections. The garden is a great walk, some shade, some full sun. Had to ask someone in the restaurant to call a cab. They were happy to help even though we were not going to patronize the restaurant. Very generous. I should note for visitors that this is a volunteer garden and is a pay what you can place. My experience would say go even if you have only a slight interest in gardens. For me, more of the background information would add to the interest.
