From this month onwards, there will be an entrance fee for non-city residents.
I completed my initial application online, then visited the Gardens to finalize things and receive the card that allows me free access for two years.
The entrance to the Gardens has been revamped, and I feel it has been done very tastefully.
It is only the specialty gardens that are being charged for. There are still many acres of other gardens that remain free to wander through.

Good for you getting a free pass to the specialty part of the garden. Nice that there's a lot more and that part is free.
ReplyDeleteI visited the garden in April 2023 and have to say that they are worth every penny of the $20 entry fee being charged now. Absolutely fantastic and I look forward to visiting again when some of the new gardens are open.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the gardens...
ReplyDeleteThat's a brilliant idea to allow locals in for free, we have a huge spinnaker tower locally, they give discounts to locals visiting.
ReplyDeleteBravo Hamilton.... and Kiwis. These gardens are such a great idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat...to go regularly and watch the plants burgeon as spring turns into summer.
ReplyDeleteToo bad there is a fee for some gardens! It is good others are free.
