Scotland & The Gardens

Here is a selection of our photos from the weekend.
We went to the Scotland day at Te Papa on Sunday.



And found the tulips and blossoms to be surviving the changes in weather quite nicely at the Botanic Gardens.

Spring Festival at Botanical Gardens

The Wellington Botanic Gardens have their Spring Festival on this weekend.

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.
