Gold Coast Regional Botanic Gardens

The Gold Coast Regional Botanic Gardens, formerly known as the Rosser Park Regional Botanic Gardens, and before that simply Rosser Park, are located on Ashmore Road, Benowa, Gold Coast, Australia. The development of the master plan for the botanic gardens involved more than 18 months' investigation, site analysis and community consultation. The plan was adopted by City of Gold Coast in 2002 and the first plantings took place in 2003.

The south-west boundary of the park extends down to the Nerang River, the Royal Pines Resort Golf Course runs all along the northern boundary and Benowa Waters residential area is located to the south.

The gardens have a large variety of plants, including raised vegetable, fruit and herb gardens. These gardens contain a variety of vegetables such as tomatoes and chilis. This creates a centre of learning for all children and adults and makes it possible for one to see how easy it is to grow these vegetables.

Sensory garden

Rotary International in partnership with Council has created a sensory garden for people with disabilities to explore the five senses within the horticultural display garden area.
