ARALUEN BOTANIC PARK
362 Croyden Road Roleystone WA 6111. Open Daily 9am to 6pm. Tel (08) 9496 1171
WA Tourism Awards 2007 - Gold Medal Winner
The unique hills setting high rainfall has ensured successful plantings of exotic species, which started in the early Young Australia League (YAL) days with J. J. Simons bringing back plants from his overseas and interstate trips.
Many of these trees continue to flourish today. Since 1990, the Araluen Botanic Park Foundation has cared for the park along with the help of many green fingured volunteers. Araluen has continued the planting traditions by expanding the Camellia and Rhododendrons collection, adding to the Eucalyptus with Karri, Tuart and by bulking up Jarrah which had been heavily logged in the valley during the early 1900's.
Other interesting plants that flourish in the valley are Magnolias, Acers, Paeonias, Michelias, Daphnes, Lilacs and of course the millions of bulbs scattered through the gardens that come alive in glorious colour.
These gardens add to the pleasure of making Araluen Botanic Park - "Paradise Found".
In spring Araluen comes alive with their spring bulbs and tulip displayed gardens which are a treat to see.
