Andrew Wegener shares his knowledge, enthusiasm and respect for the many varied and unique animals and ecosystems that we have in Australia. He uses a variety of teaching strategies where the children are encouraged to observe, discuss and handle the animals so that they explore concepts about the needs and characteristics of different living things.

The Dinosaurs
Come and see our dinosaurs. You will learn about these prehistoric creatures. These giant model dinosaurs are up to 4 metres high and look extremely life like. Bring your camera along and get some great shots with the kids.
Bonsai display, cactus garden and water gardens.
Why not call into the cafe afterwards for a bite to eat. Much of the food is baked fresh daily, on the premises.
See the lagoon at Lotus Watergardens, and the fat barrel cactus at Collectors Corner.
Start your very own bonsai tree. Many bonsai’s grown in asia are traditionally handed down from generation to generation. Some of them are over 500 years old. Why not start growing your own legend?
They’ve become a great tourist attraction, but many locals also love to have a wander and enjoy the display.
“After home made soup in the cafe, we wandered amongst some carnivorous plants and wondered how many gullible insects had been trapped down the throats of these hungry plants. Then some bonsai caught our attention and by this stage even the kids were starting to appreciate this garden world of plants. They loved the cacti room but I preferred the water garden shop while my husband appreciated the technical nature of the hydroponics shop. There was something for all of us at this garden world” ……Jill, Glen Waverly.
