Just a short distance from the Visitor Centre this decorative carved arch is set at the base of stone steps surrounded by tall shady trees and shrubs.
The arch was originally constructed in 1913 to span the entrance of the AMP Society's original Elizabeth Street building. When that building was demolished, AMP donated the arch to The Gardens. It was re-erected in 1968 in time for celebrations of The Gardens' 150th anniversary. The remains of a second arch have been used as seating in the Tasmanian Plant Collection.
The intricately carved stonework shows the skilled craftsmanship of Mr Amos Vimpany, a well-known local stonemason of the time.
