Beautiful to walk around looking at the variety of plants.

Grabbed a fantastic gift with the help of Sue (at least that was the name on the receipt). She provided helpful suggestions for me and gave me time to consider which one I would grab of all the excellent books she picked out for the person the gift was for. Very pleasant service experience and the store was very well organised. Will be back again when I next visit Canberra.

Great selection of books and field guides for ACT and NSW flora! I had a minor issue with a book I ordered online, the issue was resolved in under 2 hours. Would highly recommend for both great books and amazing customer service.

We visited this bookshop after our walk in the Botanical Gardens. There is a nice variety of books and souvenirs. We also bought ice cream here. The bookshop is worth a quick visit.

Books on botany are not really my thing but after a guided tour of the gardens I did have a fair few questions. And while the collection of books on offer here is not large or extensive, there were several that had the answers to many of my queries. And the staff are very helpful and well-informed. Credit cards are accepted and disabled access is possible.
