The Australian Arid Lands Botanic Garden was established to research, conserve and promote the wider appreciation of Australia’s arid zone flora.
The Australian Arid Lands Botanic Garden (AALBG) is located on the shores of Upper Spencer Gulf with spectacular views to the ancient Flinders Ranges. The Garden showcases a diverse collection of arid zone habitats in a picturesque setting of more than 250 hectares.
Because of its coastal location, the AALBG also features a biologically rich marine environment dominated by grey mangroves. This rare side-by-side combination of arid and marine environments, together with a fascinating regional and cultural history, makes this botanic garden very special.
After exploring the Garden, relax and enjoy a delicious meal in the Bluebush Cafe, located in the visitor centre. And while you're there, purchase one of the Garden's own AridSmart plants or unique gifts from the AridSmart Gift and Garden Shop, also located in the visitor centre. All proceeds from sales support the ongoing work and maintenance of the Garden.
A meeting and function room is also available for use, with catering provided by the Bluebush Cafe.
