Johannesburg Botanical Gardens Thomas Bowler parking

We had been near the botanical gardens numerous times while walking the dogs at the park connected to it, but today we went by without them and had a wander about the place. It was eerily quiet and devoid of people (except for those who were working there, of which there were many) visiting, so we were mainly alone, which was fantastic.

I tend to not like roses, but there is a huge section for roses, and it’s pretty nice. I truly wish the succulent garden was bigger, but that’s my personal preference.

Oh, the bathroom didn’t have any running water or soap, so that wasn’t too cool, but it’s okay. We just used the bathroom before eating lunch. ;)

Had a spectacular maternity shoot here. Pity about the empy fountains and quite a bit of rubbish encountered.

Johannesburg botanical garden the entrance is free....and you can park your car for free as well...Yes if you are a nature lover this place is for you...those who loves picnics, outdoor birthday parties or baby showers I think this garden was made for that...even people who hikes they are also allowed.....the garden is very safe for kids as they have the place where only kids can play and have fun....

I wouldn't mind recommending people to visit here coz yah the place is soh relaxing ..specially when u love being outside under the shades of tress inhaling and exhaling nature its very nice um telling you.....

I've seen you can also bring your football and play the games...everything that keeps you and your family or friends close I mean playing, walking, picnics or just sitting reading and admiring the nature its soooooooh refreshing don't wanna lie...

Make sure to go visit Johannesburg botanical gardens to walk your dogs and get some fresh air

Beautiful place for a picnic and just to have fun with the family.

It was lovely, busy city living with access to wonderful green spaces like these does provide psychology relief from the daily grind. Only negative thing I can say is that not a single fountain or water feature works that I could see which is extremely disappointing. It is still worth the trip for a day!

The gardens as a whole are very beautiful but the Rose Garden has become very sparse with about 30% of the roses it used to contain. The Tranquility tea garden has a very nice menu but are unable to provide most of it due to the lack of ingredients.
