Lismore Rainforest Botanic Gardens

The Friends of Lismore Rainforest Botanic Gardens have been working to establish and maintain the gardens since 2000. The group is always looking for volunteers to join them.

There are many tasks to suit different people's interests and skills, from planting and weeding at weekly Wednesday working bees to being a guide, propagating plants in the nursery and special projects!

• Eucalypt forest with resident koalas - a sunny, grassy area with covered BBQ and picnic tables.
• Hoop pine forest is cool and refreshing, with tall straight pines providing a peaceful atmosphere.
• Useful plants garden - open and sunny, this garden is a warm place to wander. Large photo signs identify the many uses of plants, including traditional uses by Aboriginal people.
• Rainforest area with discovery trail - a good area to see the structure of a forest with vines growing high up into the canopy, special plants with large leaves and bright berries in the understorey, and fungi, moss and ferns on the forest floor. Birds are always around and wallabies are seen regularly.
• Sensory Garden with its solar clock, mosaic pathway and information signs about the plants collected by Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander.
