Stony Range Botanic Garden

Nestled in the Northern Beaches of Sydney, the Stony Range Botanic Garden is a serene oasis of native Australian flora. Established in 1957, this suburban garden spans over three hectares and offers a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. It is designed to showcase the diverse plant life of Australia, with a particular focus on the flora of the Sydney region.

Visitors to Stony Range can meander through a variety of habitats, including rainforest, heathland, and eucalyptus groves, each meticulously maintained to mirror the natural ecosystems found in the wild. The garden’s pathways lead to enchanting nooks and themed sections, such as the Fern House and the Rare and Threatened Plants Garden, which emphasize conservation and botanical education.

The garden is not only a haven for plant enthusiasts but also a habitat for local wildlife, with many species of birds and insects making their homes among the greenery. For those looking to deepen their knowledge, Stony Range offers educational programs and workshops, as well as volunteer opportunities for community involvement.
