Historical information

This card is an invitation to attend a Night in the Gardens in March 2016 to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the Warrnambool Botanic Gardens. The first site of the Warrnambool Botanic Gardens was near the mouth of the Hopkins River but this site proved unsuitable and a new location ( the present location) was found in 1866 bounded by Cockman Street and Botanic Road.
In 1877 William Guilfoyle was commissioned to provide a new plan for the Gardens. An important curator was Charles Scoborio ( 1872 to 1906 )
