Lonely Planet review

Only a few blocks from Acland St, the Botanic Gardens are an unexpected haven from St Kilda's signature bustle. Wide gravel paths invite leisurely strolling, and there are plenty of shady spots to sprawl on the lawns. Botanically there's something for everyone, from local indigenous plants and a subtropical rainforest conservatory to the springtime splendour of the Alister Clarke Rose Garden. Dogs stay leashed and kids chase ducks, leaving the grown-ups to get down to some serious picnicking.
