John Hart Conservatory, Launceston, Tasmania


The John Hart Conservatory was erected by the Launceston Corporation from the John Hart Bequest in 1932 and refurbished in 2010 as a joint project between Launceston City Council and the Federal Government through the Regional Local Community Infrastructure Program. A twin copy from the same plans was also built at Parramatta Creek, which is on the way to Devonport. You don't need to be a gardening enthusiast to enjoy a visit to the John Hart Conservatory, which outside showcases beautiful annuals, whilst inside there is always a beautiful horticultural display.

Photos I took of my recent visit.

    The plants are beautiful and I love them. Some of the you can meet in my country. I like nature especially flowers some say I have green fingers.

    Hello!

    The floral displays are truly outstanding!

    Everything looks so very lush and happy in its environment. A lovely place to spend time and relax amongst the flowers.

      Lovely to see in person. The plants are well looked after and changed often, then changing the display every now and then.

    How gorgeous! It reminds me of a place here in Montreal. It is attached to a library as well!
