[2025 Auckland Attraction] Travel Guide for Auckland Botanic Gardens (Updated Mar)

The Auckland Botanic Garden covers an area of 64 hectares and is located in the Southern District. It has more than 10,000 plants. It was established in 1974 and brings together almost all of New Zealand's native plants. If you want some quiet time, this is a great place to go. 1. Overview of the garden The botanical garden is divided into New Zealand native botanical gardens, rose gardens, shrub gardens, Gondwana gardens, vegetable and fruit gardens, horticultural botanical gardens, tea gardens, palm gardens and urban arboretums according to the types of plants. In addition, conifers are planted, including oleifera and California marsh pine. There is an artificial lake in the park, a natural trail, and a fragrant New Zealand rose show during the rose season. The arboretum is home to many endangered species from all over the world, palm trees of different varieties and many native trees are interspersed, and two streams meander through the park. 2. Play Guide Go to the fresh edible plant area, where you can enjoy fruits, vegetables, nuts and edible flowers, which will stimulate your interest in growing your own plants. Walking past the upper river and the oddly shaped rock park, the edible plants reappeared. Then enter the African Garden, which brings together many plants from southern Africa and is regarded as the richest flower kingdom in the world. There is a cafe at the entrance of the botanical garden. After visiting the garden, you can have a cup of coffee and take a rest. In addition, there is a library in the botanical garden, where you can not only swim in the world of plants, but also in the ocean of knowledge.
