Botanicah
48 Commercial Rd, Prahran VIC 3181, Australia
Botanicah the venue is located on Commercial Road on the Prahran + South Yarra Border, just around the corner from iconic Chapel Street. Unassuming from the outside, the venue is noticeable for its dramatic greenhouse roof line, a feature it shares with the courtyard, a sister space joined to Botanicah’s main space. It’s a short distance from the restaurants, boutique hotels, cafes and clubs that make Prahran the most exciting place in Melbourne. Housed in an old plastic bag factory, now converted into a dramatic greenhouse plant jungle, you can barely glimpse the brick walls and concrete floors and the climbers create a melange of lush textures blanketing the space. Botanicah offers an escape from the city and a chance to connect with nature. The unique atmosphere makes it ideal for special occasions and functions.
