The Bendigo Botanic Gardens were founded in 1857 after land had been reserved for the site on the 1854 plan of Bendigo.[2] The gardens were added to the Victorian Heritage Register in 2001 due to their architectural, scientific, social, aesthetic and historical significance.[2]
In 1925, an Arch of Triumph was erected on the Napier Street (Midland Highway) entrance as a memorial to the fallen from the First World War.[3]
