Self-guided Tour
Contrasting against suburban Blackwood, the 13-hectare Wittunga Botanic Garden is a hidden oasis. Discover the extensive collection of water-wise plants from Australia and South Africa, brilliant displays of Ericas and Proteas in spring and an extensive collection of plants from Kangaroo Island and the Fleurieu Peninsula.
Explore the close relationship between the water-wise Australian and South African flora. Wittunga shows that water-wise gardens can be just as diverse and colourful as their water-dependent counterparts.
