DANDENONG RANGES BOTANIC GARDEN (FORMERLY, THE NATIONAL RHODODENDRON GARDEN)
The Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden is Victoria's premier cool-climate garden. The garden features important collections of Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Camellias and more, in a setting of native and exotic trees. Set on 42 hectares (100 acres) in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne near the village of Olinda.
Established by the Australian Rhododendron Society in 1960, with the aim to display and share knowledge of Rhododendrons. Parks Victoria officially took over the management of the gardens in 1995.
The Gardens is home to a staggering 15,000 rhododendrons, 12,000 azaleas, 3,000 camellias and 250,000 daffodils clothed in colour in spring and autumn. The garden houses Australia’s largest collection of Australian and overseas raised Rhododendron hybrids.
