Treasury Gardens

The Treasury Gardens is one of Victoria's oldest public gardens dating from the mid 19th century. The heritage-listed gardens form an integral component of the Spring Street government buildings precinct, being a short walk from Victoria's Parliament House.

The gardens feature avenues of mature trees along the crossing paths, forming a 'cathedral' or 'tunnel' effect. A prominent landscape feature is the contrasting evergreen foliage of conifers, palms, and Moreton Bay Figs against a background of deciduous elms, oaks, and poplars.

Other features include a Robert Burns memorial; an ornamental pond with a monument to President John F Kennedy; a memorial statue of Sir William Clarke; and a large embankment dotted with statues of Victorian politicians.
