Dove Myer Robinson Park
Dove Myer Robinson Park, or commonly reffered to as Parnell rose Garden, is located 5 minutes from downtown Auckland. The park is named after the longest serving and popular mayor who served Auckland for 18 years. The gardens are a showcase for 5000 rose bushes and with its formal layout, it is a very popular venue for weddings. The best time to visit the gardens are between October & April however, when we went, many roses were no longer at their best, with many bare rose bushes. We'll definitely have to pay this park another visit next season.

Agapanthus, a South African native which is often referred to as the
highway flower is widespread in many coastal communities where it was seen as being
useful for holding banks. However, it has invaded coastal cliffs and has now been
declared a pest plant in Auckland, banning it from being sold
