On this easy downhill walk we will discuss some of our Botanic Garden plants, some of which have had poems specially written about them. The poems we read today have been written by Dinah Hawken, who was our poet in residence in 2004, A.R.D. Fairburn, Eileen Soper, and Robin Fry. .
Meet above the Playground for this 60 to 75-minute walk
Cost: $10 or Free for Friends – bookings required (you’ll get the option to choose your ticket type after clicking ‘Buy Tickets’)
This is part of the regular walks run by the Friends of the Wellington Botanic Garden. They run throughout the year with a different topic every time.
Join the Friends for only $30 a year and all the walks will be free, as well as other great benefits.
