Blue Mountains Tour - Mt Tomah Botanic Gardens

The Mt Tomah Botanic Garden is located in the Blue Mountains and is a cool climate garden. It can be found on the Bells Line of Road.

It is the first stop on one of our Blue Mountains itineraries.

Mt Tomah is one of three Botanic Gardens located in Sydney and surrounds.

The other two exist at Mt Annan and just near the city, the Royal Botanic Gardens.

The Botanic Gardens website for the Blue Mountains advises that the indigenous meaning of the word ‘Tomah’ is reputed to be tree fern.

Mt Tomah is more than alive with tree ferns. It has spectacular flowers and colour. Although they are of a high standard year round, Spring is the best season to visit these gardens.

The waratahs are sensational, whilst the proteas are also brilliant when in flower. In our opinion Mt Tomah is a must do inclusion in any Blue Mountains tour during Spring.

This blog is deliberately short as it is best to let the flowers do the talking. Enjoy the magic.
