Kings Park and Botanic Garden Perth

 

Kings Park and Botanic Garden celebrates the unique and diverse plant life of Western Australia and is part of the worldwide network of botanic gardens committed to plant conservation.

 

The original vision for Perth Park, later Kings Park, was of a European style garden with lawns, shady trees and flower beds. Recognition of the climatic differences and the low nutrient soil changed this vision and, in 1965, the 17 hectare Western Australian Botanic Garden was opened.

 

Initially, the beds were created to display flora from the Mediterranean climatic regions of the World (the Mediterranean, California, South Africa and Western Australia). Western Australia has half of Australia’s 25,000 plant species and most of those are found nowhere else on Earth. A greater appreciation of the diversity and uniqueness of Western Australian flora has seen the redevelopment of the Botanic Garden into a showcase of flora from around this vast State.

 

Kings Park Festival

The Kings Park Festival in Perth is an annual celebration of Western Australia’s unique flora and horticultural heritage. Held in the stunning Kings Park and Botanic Garden, this month-long event typically takes place in September. It showcases the state’s extraordinary wildflower displays, featuring over 3,000 species of vibrant, native plants. Visitors can explore themed gardens, attend guided walks, and participate in various family-friendly activities.

 

The festival promotes conservation and environmental awareness, highlighting the importance of preserving Western Australia’s natural biodiversity. With its breathtaking floral exhibitions and educational programs, the Kings Park Festival offers a captivating and informative experience for nature enthusiasts and tourists alike.
