Wellington Uncovered

Otari-Wilton's Bush

Located in the heart of Wellington City, this gorgeous botanical garden dedicated entirely to NZ's native plants is home to some incredible bird life. There are multiple walks throughout the park, and you can even take along your dinner for a BBQ picnic!  

For the plant lovers. You really have to be into botany for this one. The guides will point out every tree bush and flower by scientific name. The tour is a bit long but the property is not that large.
