NATIONAL EUCALYPT DAY - SUNDAY 23RD MARCH 2025
They might have lucked out in the stakes to win the tag as Australia’s floral emblem, in favour of the showy wattle. But eucalypts do have their own national day - March 23. And for good reason, Eucalyptus are uniquely Australian, with 894 of the 900 varieties native to our continent (CSIRO).
The CSIRO also tells us things you might not know about eucalypts and how they define Australia:
• Eucalypts are the tallest flowering plant on Earth
• Eucalypts give Australia much of its colour and smell
• Eucalypts demonstrate what makes our environments efficient
• Eucalypts are the great survivors
Eucalypts are the greatest recyclers of CO₂ and key to how this continent responds to greenhouse gas emissions.
Our Eucalyptus Lawn was planted to show visitors a range of indigenous species of eucalypt and to provide a shaded area for public use as a venue for picnics, weddings and other events.
The Eucalypt photographs in this collage were taken by volunteer and Gardens pioneer, Kevin Stokes.
