About Wellington Botanic Garden
Truby King had a knack for gardening. The collections of pines, roses, rhododendrons, and azaleas were planted in the 1920s by Sir Truby King himself, with some still flourishing today. You can still find pines and macrocarpas planted by Truby King around the estate. Beautiful cherry trees line the drive around the house.
Wellington City Council is working towards restoring the eclectic planting style of the original garden.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I would have given the Gardens 5 stars except they have put in parking meters. The council are driving us out of the city by having by having less and less parking places that are free. Having said that the gardens themselves are wonderful.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ So relaxing to wander through from the cable car to the gardens. Hard to believe that you're in the middle of the city. Lovely well kept gardens.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We lunched at Picnic, a great Cafe. The outdoor seating is superb adjacent to the Rose Gardens. You can stroll through the Begonia House which is just magnificent.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I used to work at the Botanic Gardens, I know how far it has come since I was training there.
The new areas are great eg, the children's space and vege area near the nursery.
The begonia house is still beautiful. The rose gardens looked sad. However, I wonder about staff numbers. The council certainly cut numbers back after I left.

After reaching the peak at the Kelbourn Station by Wellington Cable Car, the only way to go is ls down. Our party of 4 is glad that instead of riding the cable car for a return trip, the alternative option is much better, that is, to enjoy a slow walk through the winding paths of the Wellington Botanic Garden.
From an elevation of 125 m, or lower down the slope, we can see the breathtaking panaromic views of the city and harbour in the distance.
There are shady paths, and open fields. There are big native exotic trees, ferns and colourful displays of flowers.
It is just a sensational.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lovely gardens here, never fails to impress no matter how often I go. The variety here and the amount of work that goes into maintaining a garden of this size is astounding.
Suggest making the observatory part of your exploration when you go here.
