Epicurious Garden — Attraction in Brisbane City

Tucked into the South Bank Parklands, Epicurious Garden is a wonderful surprise — part community garden, part edible education space, and all heart. It’s small, but beautifully maintained by passionate volunteers who clearly care about what they do.

There’s a great mix of herbs, veggies, and fruiting plants growing in well-laid-out beds, and plenty of signage for those curious about what’s what. If you’re lucky and time your visit right, there’s even a fresh produce stand where they give away herbs or veggies for free — a lovely gesture and a true community spirit.

It’s peaceful, fragrant, and surprisingly calming for a spot in the middle of the city. Kids love exploring the garden paths, and green thumbs will find inspiration in the seasonal planting and clever use of space.

🌿 Tip: Check the opening hours if you’re hoping to chat with volunteers or grab produce — they’re usually there a few mornings a week.

A refreshing, grounding little space that reminds you how good things grow with care...

Strodach maintains, the Epicurean gods are gloriously idle: ‘Their perfection and self-involvement absolved them from doing anything—from motion and activity of any sort and from all duties and...

I thought this place was for kids and families, not junkies begging me for cash and drugs, every step I took was a loud crunch because the ground was fully covered in needles

The pool that's apparently for kids had 3 bloated corpses floating in it, all of them were covered in boils (especially under the armpits and in moist areas) im a bit of a history buff and I don't want to cause alarm but the symptoms were worryingly similar to the black plague, again I don't want to cause alarm or terror but there was 3 bloated corpses covered in Bubonic plague boils in a KIDS pool so I am begging you not to go here you will contract a medieval disease...
