1 week ago the Kahu hapori went to Totara park for our Kaitiakitanga  program ( guardians of the galaxy), we saw and discovered a lot  of plants, trees, and surprisingly even some birds, although there were a lot of drawbacks such as pieces of litter, dirty rivers etc. if you compare it to Botanic gardens there was a large difference between the varieties of plants and the cleanliness. The whole trip was a huge opportunity for everyone to learn more about nature and the wonders of nature. Both parks had there own specialty’s Botanic gardens had A-LOT of variety’s of plants such as African plants, Japanese plants, and native New Zealand plants such as Totāra trees and karaka trees, although Totara park had native New Zealand plants such as  purere moth trees, Totara trees etc. Botanic gardens had a trees such as Japanese cherry trees and a king protea flower.
