The Duck Pond provides a relaxing setting near our main entrance on Murphy’s Avenue. The stunning rotunda in the middle of the pond is a favourite spot for wedding photos.
Keep an eye out for the native ducks, or even the eels who call this pond home. If you feed the ducks, please avoid giving them bread as this can make them sick. Instead, go for healthier options like green peas, grapes cut in half, or duck feed pellets.
REMEMBER: please only feed the ducks a very small amount - we ask only 10 peas per person (better still, don't feed them at all, they have plenty of natural food available to them). We have so many visitors, which means the ducks are getting quite sick from too much food, and sadly some have had to visit the vet with critical health issues and be removed from the Garden.
