Malvern Public Gardens

Malvern Public Gardens, established in 1888, is a serene 13-acre park in Malvern, Victoria. Originally a water reserve for the Wurundjeri people, it was transformed into a public garden by curator Thomas Pockett over two decades. The gardens feature serpentine paths, expansive lawns, diverse shrubbery, and a notable collection of mature exotic trees. A central highlight is the ornamental pond and fountain designed by Charles Robinette, restored in 1998. The park is accessible, offering shade areas, toilets, and a tranquil environment for relaxation.
