Friends of Botanic Gardens Cairns

The Cairns Botanic Gardens are renowned for having one of the best exhibitions in Australia of tropical plants including specimens from Northern Australian rainforests as well as notable species from Southeast Asia. The 'Friends' are proud to show off some of the exquisite plants on offer here as well as provide you with information about our membership and volunteer programs.

Please feel free to contact us if you plan to visit or have any questions.

Members usually meet at Cairns Botanic Gardens on the second Wednesday of the month (6:30pm). The meetings kick off with a simple BBQ which is followed by a semi formal presentation. The presenters cover a diverse range of topics from month to month.
