Introduction

Wellington Botanic Garden sits on the hills above the capital, established in 1844 as New Zealand's oldest public botanic garden. Terraced flower beds, a rose garden and native bush step down beside the cable car; from the top you overlook the harbour and city — Wellington's most healing green sitting room.
