The Australian Botanic Garden, Mount Annan is the Australian native plant garden of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney and covers 416 hectares.

The plantings are designed to take visitors on an exploration of Australia's unique plant life with the Connections Garden being the premier Garden within the site. The four and a half hectare Connection Garden is a roofless museum demonstrating the way people and the natural world interconnect.

The Garden is also one of the premier outdoor events venues in South West Sydney and hosts AnnanROMA Food and Wine Festival and the largest Carols event in the region in December.

Paid tours can be booked for groups and are guided by qualified staff or free tours can be taken with their volunteers. Both can be booked through the visitor centre.

Facilities include: picnic shelters, free barbecues, walking trails, Visitor Centre, venue hire options, wedding locations and Melaleuca House, the on-site restaurant.
