The Winter Garden

---

In the afternoon, Pat drove us to the Botanical Winter Gardens and left us to explore on our own. A winter garden to me sounds like an oxymoron! In Canada my ‘winter garden’ sits under three feet of snow and sleeps until spring. But here in New Zealand, this winter garden was full of beautiful flowers – snap dragons, tulips, orchids, lilies, and pansies. There was also an entire garden filled with a variety of ferns.





On our hike back to Pat’s home, we went down a path called the ‘Forest Walk’ that had a little gurgling brook surrounded by rain forest trees and vegetation. It was hard to believe we were in the middle of a city.
