The North Coast Regional Botanic Garden in Coffs Harbour opened in 1988 and incorporates several very different garden styles, from mangroves to a rainforest, Japanese garden, a greenhouse and a sensory garden spread over 20 hectares.
There are five kilometres of paths through the garden, and guided walks are available each month. There are also a series of self-guided trails. The garden has a seed bank and herbarium and offers a plant identification service.
Open 9 am – 5 pm everyday with free admission. The garden shop sells plants from the nursery and there is a cafe onsite.
