| Registered as Victorian heritage |
| Last updated on - June 2, 2004 Dawson's Cactus Garden, established as both a garden and nursery by T H Dawson & Gill in 1933 and operated until the 1980s, is of State significance: - as one of the most intact early cactus gardens in Victoria, the plants not merely used as isolated specimens but forming a total design, and the collection of buildings such as shade houses and a quarantine shed which complement the plants; - for its collection of outstanding individual specimens of cacti and succulents, amongst which are many plants imported in the period prior to restrictive quarantine embargos; - for the manner in which the garden reflects the hot and relatively dry local climate; - for the retention of a mid-nineteenth century rendered brick residence, characteristic of Bendigo architecture and now romantically dwarfed by giant cacti and mature trees; - for its contribution to the streetscape of the Midland Highway, a thoroughfare which contains notable gardens such as Rosalind Park, Lake Weeroona and White Hills Botanic Gardens; - historically, as a noted specialist nursery responsible for the wide distribution of cacti and succulents throughout Australia. |
