NATURAL TREASURE

Sunshine Coast

The hinterland is covered with beautiful rainforests, farms and reserves, and there’s one particular garden us young green thumbs can’t get enough of.

The privately-owned Maleny Botanic Gardens is sprawled over four acres and is home to killer views of the Glass House Mountains, meandering paths, lakes, waterfalls, a massive bird aviary and, to top it all off, tasty tea and scones. Entry will cost you, but it’ll be worth every cent.
