Maleny Botanic Gardens & Bird World must be one of the most scenic and peaceful establishments within one of Queensland's most peaceful and scenic destinations. The facility is kept in fabulous condition by dedicated staff and some hard-working Bobcat equipment.

Maleny Botanic Gardens and Bobcat

The area above Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, and especially the town of Maleny, have long been considered one of Australia’s most beautiful locations. Rolling green hills and valleys are home to coffee shops, boutique stores and quaint villages much sought after by in-the-know travellers.

A jewel in the crown of this gem of a region is the botanic garden – to give it its correct name, Maleny Botanic Gardens & Bird World. The immaculately presented panorama of horticultural magnificence is a lush green precinct of food, shopping, walk-through aviaries, and of course, impossibly gorgeous gardens.

Overseeing this amazing facility is someone who seems to radiate the joy and happiness reflected in the gardens themselves, General Manager Verena Olesch.

A dynamic duo

Care for an establishment like Maleny Botanic Gardens & Bird World – we’ll just call it Maleny Botanic Gardens – must have its stresses, but it’s not immediately obvious when speaking to the glowingly cheerful Verena.
