Wittunga Botanic Garden

Wittunga Botanic Garden is a 14-hectare public botanic garden in Blackwood, City of Mitcham, South Australia, managed by the Botanic Gardens and State Herbarium of South Australia. Originally established from 1901 as the private garden of Edwin Ashby, it was bequeathed to the State in 1965 and opened to the public in 1975. It is notable for its extensive water-wise displays of Australian native plants and South African flora from the Cape region.

Visitors can expect a tranquil, landscaped garden with formal lawns, lakes, woodland areas and themed plant collections. Paths wind through displays of Australian natives including eucalypts and proteas, and South African collections including ericas, proteas and restios. The garden offers open picnic lawns, shaded seating, a small lake with waterbirds, interpretive signage and seasonal floral displays, particularly vibrant in late winter and spring.
