All about foliage

Dive into the fantastic realm of foliage and discover what plants have to teach us about worlds present and past.

Join us for a 60 to 75-minute guided walk exploring the fascinating world of plants and the stories they tell. From ancient survivors and remarkable adaptations to the clues plants give us about changing landscapes, you'll discover how foliage can reveal both the history of our planet and the natural world around us.

As we make our way downhill through Wellington Botanic Garden ki Paekākā, we'll stop to admire a diverse range of trees, shrubs, and groundcovers while uncovering the science, history, and surprising tales hidden among the leaves.

Whether you're a keen gardener, a nature enthusiast, or simply curious to see the garden from a new perspective, this relaxed walk offers plenty to discover.

The tour starts at the Cable Car Lookout on Upland Road, Kelburn. Please wear comfortable walking shoes and dress appropriately for the weather.
