Floral Clock (Central Melbourne)
A huge floral clock is positioned opposite the National Gallery of Victoria in the Queen Victoria Gardens, containing over 7,000 flowering plants which are changed twice yearly. The clock was donated in 1966 to the City of Melbourne by a group of Swiss watchmakers.
Set in the Gardens are ornamental ponds and monuments to Queen Victoria and King Edward VII. The Gardens also contain artwork, including Paul Montford's Water Nymph, which is set in the smaller pond and two marble busts by Theodore Fink. There is a contemporary sculpture designed for children to touch and play on.
