Walking trails

  • Wittunga Naming Walk

    Ever wondered how plants are named? Discover the interesting origins of many scientific plant names by experiencing the Wittunga Naming Walk. The Wittunga Naming Walk opened in March 2001 and it demonstrates how plants are named scientifically and the origins of their names - whether from a person or a characteristic of the plant. There are 24 interpretative signs installed throughout the garden, stationed alongside the relevant plant.
