The ‘Pit Glass House’ located at the rear of the gardens is used to house the displays. Reputed to have been built in the 1860’s the historic Pit Glass House is a rare example of the half basement design. It was built to acclimatise plants to Australian conditions.

Our themed displays usually change a few times each year. You can see what the latest theme is by visiting the gardens or checking out the information below.
