About Olive Pink Botanic Garden
The Garden was founded in Alice Springs in 1956 by Miss Olive Muriel Pink as the Australian arid regions flora reserve. Today we carry on this tradition as an arid zone Botanic Garden specialising in flora from Australia's vast interior.
The Olive Pink Botanic Garden was opened to the public in 1985 and there are now over 600 central Australian plants represented in the garden, 145 of these occur naturally within the rocky hill habitat. There are 40 rare or threatened species present.
