Mount Lofty Botanic Garden’s Lakeside Trail officially opened in 2015, and it was designed to allow anyone – young families with prams; the elderly; people with limited understanding of English; and people with disabilities, their families and carers – to enjoy the Garden’s tranquil beauty.

Dotted along the one-kilometre loop around Main Lake are eight artworks – each one with a different fundamental message about people, plants and the environment. Follow the Trail at a leisurely pace and consider the themes and information each of these special artworks conveys about our relationships with plants.

The eight themes of the trail are:

• The miracle of life
• Wood
• Water
• Natural habitats
• Beauty
• The senses
• The sun
• Planet Earth

Each of the artworks has a message that has been translated to braille for people with vision impairments. An audio trail has also been developed to complement the trail, available through the MyParx app.
