Overview

The Gardens is an inner suburb of Darwin that rests on the traditional country and waterways of the Larrakia people. Named for the nearby George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens – home to one of the largest collections of palms in the region – the area offers residents immediate access to expansive green space and a historic setting where early experiments in sugar‑cane and cotton cultivation were once conducted. Its proximity to Mindil Beach, the Gardens Oval and the annual Darwin Beer Can Regatta and Bassinthegrass music festival give locals a lively outdoor lifestyle just minutes from the coastline.

A small residential pocket grew alongside the Botanic Gardens in the late‑1960s and, after shedding the Palmerston Gardens name in 1984, now provides a mix of homes close to key amenities. Education options include Darwin High School, St John’s Catholic College and the Northern Territory School of Distance Education, while entertainment and leisure are served by Skycity Darwin casino, the Mindil Beach Casino Resort and the Museum & Art Gallery of the Northern Territory. All of these facilities sit within a walkable radius, making The Gardens a well‑connected and convenient place to live.
