Introduction

Harold Boas Gardens is a small, elegant city garden in West Perth at the corner of Wellington and Havelock streets. Originally known as Delhi Square, it was redesigned in the 'Paradise Garden' style and renamed Harold Boas Gardens in 1976, retaining many of the original trees planted in 1900 while adding hills, water features and then-uncommon plantings. With dense shade and open lawns, it is a peaceful green retreat for city workers and, being so scenic, a popular venue for wedding ceremonies.
