Otari-Wilton's Bush
Once a year, Ōtari throws open the gates and invite you behind the scenes at Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush. It’s your chance to explore the only public botanic garden in Aotearoa dedicated solely to native plants. Discover the people, plants, and projects that make it special.
Meet the team, chat with partner organisations, join an activity, and find out how they’re working together to protect and restore our natural environment. Whether you’ve never been to Ōtari before or it’s been a while, come along, get curious, and reconnect with nature!
Enjoy:
– Behind the scenes tours
– Native plant sale
– Ngā taonga tākaro (traditional Māori games)
– Interactive stalls
– Scavenger hunt
– BBQ
