AUCKLAND BOTANIC & AYRLIES GARDENS 25 MARCH
We'll make an early start from Tauranga, stopping at Ngatea for morning tea en route, before visiting the Auckland Botanic Gardens, home to more than 10,000 plants from around the world.
We're lucky to be there while the "sculpture in the Gardens" is taking place at the venue. Twenty NZ artworks were chosen & will be scattered throughout the gardens.
Whitford is a country town and rural area south of Auckland at the start of the Pohutukawa Coast. It includes stunning verdant farmland and lush native forests.
Ayrlies Garden, Whitford, will be our second garden venue,& is a popular local attraction.
After visiting Ayrlies Gardens, we'll wend our way home.
COST: Door-to-door transport & garden entry: $95.00pp.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
