Things to see and do in Buckland

Tasmanian Bushland GardenEntered through superbly crafted metal gates, which are a work of art in themselves, this special garden displays plants from the east coast, grouped according to their habitats. At their best in spring, there will always be something flowering though. A brilliant re-use of an old quarry site, there’s a sheltered picnic area, toilets, frog ponds, modern bird sculptures, a peaceful memorial garden and even a waterfall which starts to flow when you cross a beam of light. The garden is an ideal spot to stop for a cuppa or for lunch and somewhere for children to let off steam after being cooped up in a car for a while. Dogs on leads are welcome in the developed area, but not on the bushland walking tracks through the second gate because of the wildlife whose home this area is. The gardens are open daily from dawn till dusk. Entry is free. Tasman Highway, BucklandP 03 6239 1688 E This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
