Botanical Gardens
Posted by Anne Marie Serrano on December 12, 2008
It seemed as if all large cities in Australia and New Zealand have botanic gardens. Canberra’s is a hilly landscape with natural Australian flora. They pride themselves in their large collection of vegetation from all over Australia which by now you know is vast.
New Zealand botanic gardens especially during these summer months looks like it was plucked from England and so much more. I spent a couple of hours at the Christchurch Gardens but my camera battries died so I didn’t get many pictures. This garden is 21 hectares and I didn’t see it all.
By comparison the Wellington Botanic Gardens is 25 hectares but it covers a hilly landscape and I spent several hours there. I got plenty of pictures at the Wellington Botanical Gardens which was in full bloom. It was a lovely day in Wellington and the garden was one of my favorite sites.
