    A garden ramble

    A lovely wander through informal woodland gardens. I had my elderly mum with me and she struggled with the paths. Signposts were not clear though a handy little nap had been provided.

    It was a lovely sunny day and as a local, it seemed like a good idea to go and visit.

    Very good, the gardens are not to large, with lots of seating to stop and enjoy the scenery. A little Fantail followed me for a while. The Butterfly house was full of, well Butterfly's and lots of hungry Caterpillars ready to develope into Crysallis/ Butterflys....More

    Absolutely beautiful.

    A wonderful day in the NZ bush yet so close to the largest city in NZ. Such a deep green and beautiful park, relaxing and relatively quiet considering how many other people were there. Would happily spend more days there.
