Visit to NZ

23 years ago

I am visiting Auckland for a conference leaving here on September 3rd. I'll have 4-5 days at each end of the conference to look around (I'll probably hire a car). Does anyone have suggestions as to gardens to visit in North Island. Will it be spring time (first half of September)? What about spring flowers - will there be much native flora flowering at this time?

Many thanks in advance for any tips.

This morning the 2nd Sept the heavens have opened and the rain is pelting down.
There are a few gardens to visit. The Botanical Gardens and Eden Gardens close to the city are looking a picture I believe. Eden Gardens were bilt from a disused quarry.
If you go to the Visitors Centre in the city they should be able to give you several places to visit.
