I ♥ Auckland - Auckland Botanic Gardens

Another of my favourite places to visit in Auckland is the Botanic Gardens, with over 10,000 plants from around the world and spread over 64 hectares there is always something in bloom all year round. This past weekend I visited to get some photos of the gardens in Autumn, and I wasn't disappointed. A great place  to bring  children, and plenty of room  to walk the dog.It is not difficult to spend two or three hours here walking around enjoying the different themed gardens. With no charge for entry it is well used by the public.

Autumn is all around us as the bright colours of Summer give way to Autumn

Still warm enough for the bees to be doing the last of their pollen gathering
