Friends of the Arboretum Lecture
"New Zealand: A Garden Paradise"
- Thursday, May 9, 2019 – 7:30 pm–9:00 pm
The JC Raulston Arboretum led a trip to escape winter in New Zealand where it was summer. Participants discovered firsthand the rich culture and sheer beauty of this isolated island paradise. They cruised Auckland 's spectacular bay; visited gushing geysers; relaxed in hot springs; and learned about Maori history, music and dance in Rotorua. They visited the capital Wellington where they visited the excellent Te Papa Museum and stunning Wellington Botanical Gardens. Afterward, they flew south to Christchurch to board the TranzAlpine Express. They rode the rails to Arthur 's Pass and continued on to Franz Josef town and Queenstown for a spectacular cruise on Milford Sound. Join Mark as shares the sights of this amazing garden adventure with all of us that weren't able to escape Raleigh this winter.
