Opening in August 2001 and located in The Entrance North, the gardens are home to an abundance of native trees and plants, as well as a viewing platform that overlooks the impressive Tuggerah Lakes, pathways, bridges, comfortable seats, and weather shelters.



Displays of the flora include grevilleas, grafted flowering gum trees, bottle brush and kangaroo paw are some of the species found at the gardens. Many trees, plants and shrubs have been donated by members of the community, adding a special touch to this free attraction.
