Melbourne is famous for its picturesque parks and gardens and is renowned as Australia’s garden city. Victoria too is hailed as the Garden State.

Land was reserved for the beautiful Fitzroy Gardens in 1848, and Captain Cook’s Cottage as well as over 1,000 trees including an avenue of 250 Dutch and English Elms can be found here. The book also includes photos of the historic Carlton Gardens with the World Heritage listed Royal Exhibition Buildings, which annually hosts the immensely popular Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show. Kings Domain, established in 1854, encompasses La Trobe’s Cottage, the Shrine of Remembrance, the Sidney Myer Music Bowl and has many trees planted by early directors of the Botanic Gardens, Baron Ferdinand von Mueller and William Guilfoyle. The Queen Victoria Gardens include a floral clock displaying over 7,000 flowers and the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, established in 1846 are regarded as one of the finest botanic, landscaped gardens in the world. Melbourne’s passion for natural beauty has led to the creation of hundreds of parks and gardens.

  • Another Two Diagonal Avenues Intersect the Site, Radiating from the Central Section of the Gardens on Carlton Street, to the Two Southern Entry Points
    ROYAL EXHIBITION BUILDING AND CARLTON GARDENS Another two diagonal avenues intersect the site, radiating from the central section of the gardens on Carlton Street, to the two southern entry points. The avenue on the east side is planted with Plane trees (Platanus x acerifolia). Near the Works Depot, in the avenue’s most northern extent, the trees are planted at wide spacings. This may have been a realisation of John Guilfoyle’s 1916 proposal to remove every second plane tree from the South Garden Plane Tree Avenue. It is unclear when the removal was to take place. The plane tree avenue referred to may have been that in the North Garden and not the one in the South Garden. In the southern section the trees are closely spaced, forming a denser over canopy and providing a stronger sense of enclosure. The avenue on the opposite diagonal on the west side of the gardens is planted with Grey Poplars (Populus x canescens) also reaching senescence. A replanting on the south-west side of this avenue with poplars occurred in 2006. The avenue’s integrity is strongest near Carlton Street where the trees are regularly spaced and provide good canopy coverage. 4.4.5 North Garden Boundary Trees The layout of the North Garden in the 1890s was primarily based on extensive avenue plantings crossing the site, with little in the way of other ornamentation. Individual specimen trees were mainly planted around the perimeter of the site, forming loose boundary plantations. The spaces between the avenue plantations remained relatively free of in-fill plantings, with expanses of turf being the primary surface treatment in these areas.
