Botanical Surprises - Guided Walk In this 60-minute walk we will see a plant that cannot decide whether it is a lily or an asparagus, trees that can be tapped, tree trunks that are not really tree trunks, trees that shared space with the dinosaurs, plants that photosynthesise only at night, and a deadly poisonous plant that yields potent drugs for fighting cancer.
Meet at the Cable Car Entrance Lookout, Upland Road, Kelburn.
Cost: $10 or Free for Friends – bookings required (you’ll get the option to choose your ticket type after clicking ‘Buy Tickets’)
This is part of the regular walks run by the Friends of the Wellington Botanic Garden. They run throughout the year with a different topic every time.
Join the Friends for only $30 a year and all the walks will be free, as well as other great benefits.
