Gardens and Parks to visit in Melbourne
Royal Botanic Garden
This is a living museum that holds collections of plants for educative, scientific, conservation and aesthetic purposes. This garden is huge! I've been there several times and still find it difficult to get myself out. This is a beautiful garden where you can enjoy your picnic in spring, summer or autumn days. Also, you can enjoy the chill inside it during winter time. It is easy to reach this park because it is just beside the Shrine of Remembrance. You can either walk from Flinders street station, or take whatever trams at stop 13 that goes to St. Kilda road.

The first time I went there was in winter 2016. It was raining at that time, and of course bloody cold there. Me and my friends walked inside and enjoyed the park because even when it was raining, the park was still beautiful.

Alexandra Gardens
This garden is located at the side of Yarra river across Federation Square. You can reach it by walking for few minutes from Flinders street railway station. I really like this garden because it is easy to reach and moreover, this garden has the same name with me (lol). I went there in February 2017 when there was a White Night Festival in Melbourne in which they have giants white rabbits made from permeable thick nylon put in the garden. The artist, Amanda Pierra says that those rabbits are 7 meters long :D
Fitzroy Garden
You can reach Fitzroy garden by walking for several minutes from the Parliament station. This beautiful garden is special because it has Captain Cook's cottage in it, complete with a small garden behind it. The house was brought from England to Australia by deconstructing it piece by piece and then rebuilding it in Fitzroy garden. This garden is quite big and has a lot of spot for your photographs.

Carlton Garden
Another beautiful garden which is located close Parliament station is Carlton Garden. This garden surrounds the Royal Exhibition Building, one of the world's oldest exhibition building which was built in 1880. I think every one think the same thing as me that this garden is perfect for taking picture, because every time I go there, there are always couples who do pre-wedding shot.
