All three sites have common threads through their history and are treasures today that deserve our best efforts to keep and protect, to celebrate and admire.

Brisbane Botanic Gardens, Mount Coot-tha

The new Brisbane Botanic Gardens was opened in 1976, safely out of floodwaters at Mt Coot-tha, Toowong. Here the plant collections are gradually maturing and more are being added, such as the recent Queensland Conservation Trail.

Wonderful resources such as the Library, Planetarium and State Herbarium plus the historic Richard Randall Studio building, the much loved Japanese Gardens and  the  iconic  domed  Tropical  Glasshouse,  have their home here.
