Mum and I had a day out at the Auckland Botanical Gardens today. It was a wee bit of a trek to get out there, but fairly straight forward and well worth the trip. It was only opened in 1981 so fairly new in the botanically circle. We went today to take the free tour but typically they were short staffed so could do the walk. There was a nice women originally from York who moved out 4 years ago who gave us advice on where to go and what to look out for. We started off in the herb garden (a wee bit of a squash for the pushchair!) then headed through the rock garden
to the duck ponds.
Nathan took a real interest in the ducks just wondering what they were I guess.
It was quite easy just to wander for hours through the park and that was without going through the native bush areas to the top end of the gardens. We stuck to the paths through and came across some good picture opportunities.
