Wellington Gardens

We are a family of four gardens, distinctly different yet interconnected by a common cause: we are here for people, and plants. Protectors of heritage, cultivators of experiences, and sowers of knowledge, we are the Wellington Gardens. We look after Wellington Botanic Garden and Bolton Street Cemetery ki Paekākā, Ōtari-Wilton's Bush and Truby King Park.
