The Red Centre Garden, which will open later this year, will showcase the iconic significance of the continent's red centre as the physical and spiritual heart of Australia, right here in the nation's capital. The Garden will inspire a sense of place, connecting people to some of the iconic landscapes of Central Australia as they pass through a selection of plants from Central Australia’s dominant plant communities, including the mulga country, the majestic desert oaks, ghost gum woodlands, spinifex grasslands and saltbush scrub. This will be achieved by combining elements of the natural beauty of the red centre landscapes and aspects of contemporary landscape design.
As our Centenary gift to the Gardens, the Friends have funded a commissioned public artwork to form the centrepiece of the new Red Centre Garden.
