Olive Pink Botanic Garden is located close to the Alice Springs' Central Business District, on the eastern bank of the Todd River which is mostly dry. The Gardens were created in 1956 by Miss Olive Muriel Pink as an Australian arid regions flora reserve. These botanic gardens specialise in plants from our vast interior. I believe the Botanic Gardens are a not for profit organisation funded by the Northern Territory Government as well as from donations. The gardens along the entrance are dotted with interesting sculptures and seating is provided in shady spots around the gardens to sit and enjoy the scenery.
The Bean Tree Cafe is housed within the Olive Pink Botanic Garden complex and seemed to be a popular place for lunch. They are open for breakfast, lunch, morning or afternoon tea, as well evening function. Phone (08) 8952 0190.
Olive Pink Botanic Gardens are within walking distance to town and a range of accommodation - an interesting place to visit while in Alice Springs. It is hard to believe how plants survive in this harsh environment in central Australia.
