Parliament House gardens

Jackson TAYLOR (Bayswater) (15:44): Every time I am in this place it never fails to blow me away how incredible the gardens are here at Parliament House. I would say they are one of Melbourne’s best kept secrets. There is a small but dedicated team of professionals that look after the gardens, some of which date back to as early as the 1850s, with the gardenesque style, based on stylised planting and sweeping wide paths and lawns, through to modern native Australian planting at the top of the rear annexe, where our offices are. It was designed as a sanctuary in the middle of the capital, and you can come and take a tour to experience it for yourself. Check out the Parliament website for more details.
