Green Dominion

In Melbourne’s inner-city heart are the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens. They’re criss-crossed by pathways from all sides so those from immediate surrounding communities and far beyond can access and enjoy this peaceful, tranquil, green kingdom of ancient oaks, figs, conifers, and other magnificent giants. A noble community of greenery ushering all who enter this place of respite, to wander through, rest, and explore this wonderland away from pressures and stress of busy human lives, discovering an amazing diversity of plants. Here the diversity our of communities melt into one with a common sense we all belong together through our connection with nature. It’s a place where animal communities too, inhabiting the richness of environments reigned by these green sovereigns mingle with people. Ferdinand von Mueller, the garden’s first director, whose commemorative bust looks on would be proud of the treasures today filling this truly royal botanic community for all life.
