The Treasury Gardens is one of Victoria's oldest public gardens dating from the mid 19th century. The heritage-listed gardens form an integral component of the Spring Street government buildings precinct, being a short walk from Victoria's Parliament House.

​

The gardens feature avenues of mature trees along the crossing paths, forming a 'cathedral' or 'tunnel' effect. A prominent landscape feature is the contrasting evergreen foliage of conifers, palms, and Moreton Bay Figs against a background of deciduous elms, oaks, and poplars.
