Introduction
George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens is located in the Gardens area of Darwin, in Australia's Northern Territory, and is one of the city's older botanic gardens, noted for tropical plants and Northern Territory native species. It collects and cultivates palms, cycads, tropical fruit trees and plants unique to northern Australia, and includes glasshouses and themed planting areas, making it a fine place to learn about tropical horticulture and local ecology. Dense shade and gentle paths make it good for walking and birdwatching, and residents often relax here. The gardens are not far from the city centre and can be combined with nearby waterfront sights. As Darwin's climate is hot, morning or evening visits are best, with attention to sun protection and hydration.
