Best of Succulent & Cacti Gardens

01. WELCOME TO CACTUS COUNTRY

No self-respecting list of the best cactus and succulent gardens could call itself complete without the inclusion of Cactus Country. Bursting with thousands of succulents and cacti, the 12-acre desert oasis, three hours from Melbourne deep in the Victorian Murray bushland, has never been more popular thanks to social media and its undeniably photogenic, “Insta-worthy” backdrops filled with weird and wacky plants as far as the eye can see. An elevated lookout dome is the perfect spot to enjoy a margarita or Mexican beer (or a homemade cactus ice cream for the kids) as you take in the 1000+ plant varieties that make Cactus Country their home. cactuscountry.com.au
