Welcome to the website of Araluen Botanic Park, a unique and special place of great beauty.

Whenever you visit you will find the streams flowing, plenty of picnic spots and delightful bush walks to explore in addition to our famous garden displays. Thanks to the dedication of staff and volunteers, our gardens are spectacular all year round, although they are best known for the amazing riot of colour during "Yates Springtime at Araluen" when massed plantings of bulbs, annuals and other plants bloom from August right through to October.

The Park also offers a perfect venue for a range of other events, including weddings, family gatherings, music, arts and theatre.

I am privileged to be associated with the Foundation, which manages this very special place.

There are hundreds of people who support us in many different ways. We always welcome and appreciate offers of assistance. Please ask about becoming a member or a volunteer - or both.

I would also like to acknowledge the ongoing support of the State Government, our sponsors and business associates, which along with our happy volunteers, ensure that Araluen Botanic Park remains "Paradise Found".

I invite you to come and enjoy your Park and the beauties within. I am sure that you will leave here with many pleasant memories and I hope you will want to come back to renew them from time to time.


John Colwill, President, ABPF
