Botanic garden of wellington

The botanic garden contains a wide variety of plants that are not very different from those we have in Chile.
The Wellington Botanic Garden, covers 25 hectares of land on the side of the hill between Thorndon and Kelburn, near central Wellington.

The garden features 25 hectares of protected native forest, conifers, plant collections and seasonal displays. They also feature a variety of non-native species, including an extensive Rose Garden. They are classified as a Garden of National Significance by the Royal New Zealand Institute of Horticulture.
The Wellington Cable Car, a longer car than the Valparaiso’s funicular, runs up between Lambton Quay and the top of the Botanic Garden, and it is the most direct way to get from the top part of the garden to Wellington's Central Business District.

The botanic garden of Wellington was a very good experience, we saw a lot of differents plants and herbs that we can’t see in our country.
