Dunedin Botanic Garden
Established in 1863 as the first Botanic Gardens in New Zealand, the 28-hectare grounds are resplendent with over 6,800 plant species and the song of wild native bellbirds, wood pigeons and Tui. The sprawling lower gardens feature the rather unique Edwardian Winter Garden glasshouse containing tropical plants, cacti and succulents which overlooks the serene Japanese Garden complete with a bamboo grove. The Garden is located in North Dunedin, just over two kilometres from the Octagon. A regular bus service operates from the city centre to the north end past the Botanic Garden. A popular spot for families, the duck pond and playground are a great place to spend a few hours on a fine day and in the summer months there are often musicians playing in the traditional bandstand nearby.
