The Winter
Garden is just a tiny parcel of the massive 75 hectare (185 acre)
Auckland Domain, but it was my favorite feature of the park due to
the variety of exotic flowers contained within. I was surprised that the "Wintergarden" is a free attraction since similar botanical gardens with meticulously maintained flower exhibits in the USA usually cost anywhere from $5 to $20 per person for admission. The two "glasshouses" (greenhouses) of the Winter Garden are located near the center of the Auckland Domain on Domain Drive near Garden Road. Inside the Wintergarden's entrance you'll find the steamy "Tropical House", the cooler "Temperate House", a central courtyard with a pond and the Fernz Fernery. |
