Tōtara Park and Botanic Gardens Differences (^・ω・^ )

Tōtara Park

On the 30th of July, we visited Totara Park and learned about the kaitiakitanga, the stream, and a lot more during our walk. It was very muddy and dirty. There were a lot of rocks/leaves, and it was wet and soggy. The walk was very tiring. While we were walking around in Totara Park, I discovered different plants using the Seek app, which identifies plants like palms, trees, ferns, etc. (I don’t have the photos because I accidentally deleted them.) Totara Park was the best experience I’ve had so far, and I hope we get to visit Totara Park again next year.

Botanical Gardens

The Botanic Gardens are very different but a bit similar to Totara Park (except it wasn’t that dirty). It was very clean, and they had different plants that were not at Totara Park, like Japanese plants, African plants, etc. I really love the work they put into the garden. We also did a scavenger hunt to find letters of the alphabet from one of the plants, and I discovered a rose that became my favorite: the desert rose. My experience at the Botanic Gardens was incredible and unique. The same goes for Totara Park!

Here is some photos I took at the Botanic Gardens :)))
