Kiwi Guardians at Wellington Botanic Garden

Introduction

The paved paths are just the beginning at Wellington Botanic Garden. As a Kiwi Guardian discover new paths and hidden surprises.

Highlights

  • Follow your nose through the Herb Garden and get your tummy rumbling for a yummy meal. 
  • Build a fairy house in the Fairy Village near the stream that fills the duck pond.
  • Head off the paved paths and find the cork oak trees – discover what the bark looks like before it’s turned into a bottle stopper.
  • Pack a picnic – there are lots of great spots along the way.
