I’ve never really been a fan of botanic gardens despite having a degree in Botany. Somehow they always seemed to me to be living in the past and were meant for someone older than me. My view has changed somewhat on this trip, particularly after visiting Singapore and the delightful and wondrous Gardens by the Bay
Adelaide Botanic Gardens are also well worth a visit. The gardens, situated on North Terrace in the city, opened in 1857 and have seen many changes and redevelopments over the years to keep the gardens relevant to everyone. Recent years have seen the Garden of Health and the First Creek Wetland open to visitors. At the time of our visit the Adelaide Fringe Festival was drawing to a close and number of events were taking place in and around the gardens.
