The Malmsbury Botanic Gardens is an Australian botanic garden in the regional town of Malmsbury, Victoria. Established in the 1850s, the garden is one of regional Victoria's earliest botanic gardens.[1] Land was first reserved for the garden in 1855 with work commencing in 1863.[2] In 2002 the garden was listed on the Victorian Heritage Register as an example of a nineteenth century regional garden for its design and layout, collection of plants, structures and aesthetic and social value.[3]

The garden contains a pair of bunya bunya pines (Araucaria bidwillii) that is on the National Trust register of significant trees.[4]
