There are also sections dedicated to plants from specific regions, such as the Southern Highlands of Africa and South America.

Visitors can enjoy leisurely walks through the garden’s 28 hectares of landscaped grounds, take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding wilderness, and learn about native and exotic plant species. There’s also a café on-site, offering light refreshments and locally sourced produce, along with a garden shop where visitors can purchase plants and souvenirs.

The garden is a popular destination for picnics, educational tours, and nature photography. The temperate climate of Mount Tomah allows the garden to host a wide variety of species not often seen in other Australian gardens, making it a unique botanical experience.
