Gold Coast Regional Botanic Gardens
- Gold Coast Regional Botanic Gardens
The Gold Coast Regional Botanic Gardens, formerly known as the Rosser Park Regional Botanic Gardens are located on Ashmore Road, Benowa, Gold Coast, Australia. The development of the master plan for the botanic gardens involved more than 18 months investigation, site analysis and community consultation.
The plan was adopted by Gold Coast City Council in 2002.
The south-west boundary of the park extends down to the Nerang River, the Royal Pines Resort Golf Course runs all along the northern boundary and Benowa Waters residential area is located to the south.
Sensory garden
Rotary International in partnership with Council has created a sensory garden for people with disabilities to explore the five senses within the horticultural display garden area. Almost 3,500 plants have been planted.
