The North Coast Regional Botanic Garden is renowned for its natural bushland as well as exotic species.
Wheelchair accessible paths and board walks lead to garden sections featuring rare and endangered species, naturally occurring mangroves, rainforest, native flora and exotic plantings. Plants considered threatened in their natural habitat are featured.
The Glasshouses contain rare displays of bromeliads, orchids, cacti and tropical species. Open weekdays only.
Covering 20 hectares, the garden lies in a bend of Coffs Creek at the end of Hardacre Street off Harbour Drive, just one kilometre from the city centre, a sub-tropical haven and an extension of Coffs Creek Walk.
The Garden Cafe opens on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays from 10am to 2.30pm for light lunches and snacks. The menu varies seasonally.
