A Visit to the Auckland Winter Gardens
Just two weeks ago we paid a visit to the Winter Gardens in the Domain in
Auckland, and what a picture it was. These photos are of some of the amazing
displays inside the Victorian style glass houses. The Winter Gardens were
designed in the style of Gertrude Jeckyll and Edwin Lutyens and opened
in 1913. One of the glass houses is heated and contains tropical plants
these photos were taken in the other one.
Delphiniums and snap dragons
Schizanthus
Mimulus
Delphiniums
The two glass houses are connected by a courtyard with a water lily pond
which contains some gold fish, and off to the side is a fernery which is
also well worth a wander through.
