The tulips have survived the icy hail stones in the week and are about to show us all their glory.
SPRING FESTIVAL
17 September - 2 October 2011
This two-week festival has more than 30 events, with highlights including:
▪ Otari open day and plant sale on Saturday 17 September
▪ Tulip Sunday in the Botanic Garden on 25 September.
This year we've designed the Botanic Garden's renowned tulip beds to pay tribute to the overseas teams playing in Wellington for Rugby World Cup 2011. The planting's been done so that the flower colours will represent teams' national flags.
