The elegant octagonal structure was originally built at Major’s Hill Park across from the parliament building and was moved to the Farm in 1938 to be used for horticultural research. This 1,600 sq ft tropical garden, opened to the public in the 1970s, is found in a heritage building notable for its beautiful lines and traditional design. Raised beds frame the circular path featuring a variety of heat-loving plants, tropical rainforest natives, Cacti and succulents.
Open Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Sunday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; closed Saturday for maintenance.
