The fernery is a peaceful place to sit and watch the world pass by.
It has many different types of mature ferns.
There is a nicely laid out walk around the forgery. It does not take long to explore.
Its dedign means water drips from the ceiling, so do not panic if you feel something splatter on your head

The Sydney Fernery is a quiet corner inside the Royal Botanic Garden. It's a refreshing place to see some exotic plants.
The Sydney Fernery inside the Royal Botanic Garden is a beautiful place. Very peaceful and the pay to go for any fern's lover.
A Victorian era obsession with ferns that inspired this popular place to explore inside The Royal Botanic Garden in Sydney. It's a stunning structure completed in 1993 with slatted steel roof and sandstone walls. According to information available here, there's more than three hundred species of ferns and tropical perennials, including begonias and orchids in this fernery. Great place for all ages and especially young children to explore. Interesting extra information about the recycled sandstone walls; were originally carved in 1826 for the Governor's harbour-side bathing house. If you look closely at the sandstone walls they still show "bankers marks" as symbols used to identify the convict stonemason responsible for its hewing. Bankers marks were also used to calculate the convict's wages. So this not just a gorgeous fernery but a stunning historical significance.
so many fern species here, full of excitement! It’s quiet and beautiful, you can just sit down and relax yourself under the beautiful tall ferns.
Relaxing place,
Ferns and their close allies, the mosses were amongst the earliest vascular plants to colonise the earth more than 350 million years ago.
The word fern comes from the old Anglo-Saxon word ‘fearn’ meaning feather, which refers to the delicate compound leaves known as fronds that are found on some ferns. If you take a closer look at the underside of many fern’s fronds you might find brown sunken or raised spots. Don’t worry! These are not signs of some terrible pest or disease, but a unique characteristic of ferns called sori, their patterns are one of the key ways to identify fern species.

A nice quiet corner can be found here and of course the ferns are fantastic too.
