The gardens are situated next to St Kilda beach and provide open-air barbecues, playground, public toilet facilities and a heritage Edwardian-style rotunda, as well as shade under the many palm trees.

It is located on Beaconsfield Parade, St Kilda West, but we think it is best accessed via Pier Road which is less busy and often easier to park.

"The land where Linden New Art now stands was purchased in 1870 by Jewish immigrant Moritz Michaelis (1820-1902). The Victorian mansion was built in 1871 by notable architect, Alfred Friedrich Kursteiner (1829-1897) and the surrounding gardens were designed by landscape gardener and botanist, William Guilfoyle (1840-1912), who also famously designed Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens. Michaelis named the home Linden meaning ‘Lime Tree’ in German." - https://www.lindenarts.org/about-us/
