The drive: What challenges have you overcome?
Botanic gardens have a stigma of being for old people and so we have developed the gardens to be a place for everyone, through facilitating events and family activities. We also created a Children’s Garden and dedicated a section of our Huakaiwaka visitor centre as a space for children.
Hopes and dreams: What next?
Increasingly, the Auckland Botanic Gardens sees itself as a place for health and wellbeing. Our visitors can take time from the stresses and busyness of life to connect with the beauty of what has been created here. They can find moments of wonder and just relax in an environment that is being looked after, tended to and cared for by a small but expert team of dedicated people.
Visit the Auckland Botanic Gardens website to find out more and keep up to date by following them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
