Flowers in Focus 2025 Winners Announced

The majestic tree-lined Honour Avenues are an iconic feature of Kings Park, and a significant memorial space for West Australians who made the ultimate sacrifice in war. However, as the number of visitors to Kings Park increases, so do problems for our trees. 

Kings Park has partnered with the WA Parks Foundation to release a new plant that will enable people to bring one of the State's rarest species into their own backyard.

The Everlasting Kings Park Festival program launch today showcases a host of spring events, alongside the 60th anniversary of the Western Australian Botanic Garden.
