Albury's beautiful Botanic Gardens have been established for over 100 years and gives residents and tourists alike the opportunity to see and admire the historical significance as well.
Over the years, the gardens have won many prizes for layout, design, and plant species and annual planting's. The Curved paths and rounded scrub beds give a softer, less formal look to these gardens which once had straight paths and rows of pines, elms and other trees. The council is continually upgrading the gardens, making them a perfect place to enjoy a picnic or leisurely stroll.
Found in the gardens is the Hume Monument, Albury's tribute to Hamilton Hume who first discovered this area in 1824. The Hume monument was erected in 1858 and stood on the former site of Hume's Tree, it was removed to the Botanic Gardens when they were established. The present brick residence was built in 1909 after a previous weatherboard House had been classified by the National Trust of Australia.
