The wildflower paper daisy display is in full bloom at the wonderful Australian botanic garden in Mt Annan until the end of October. Explore a sea of colour across more than 2,000 square metres of picturesque garden beds. These paper daisies are grown at the foot of the roofless Connections Garden floral museum, where you can experience the development of this beautiful native garden display that gives plants a place for connection with both humans and wildlife. The garden is open every day between 8am and 5pm. Free entry.
