Bason Botanical Gardens

We took a ride to Whanganui last week to Bason Botanical Gardens, where I found the white fungi on my last post.

These photos are from the fern and orchid houses which are a small part of the

garden as Stanly Bason wanted:

‘It is to be a botanic garden, not a park, largely for scientific purposes, catering for both utility and aesthetic interests, a place for study not just for pretty flowers.’ So said Stanley Bason when he gifted his 25 hectare farm and homestead garden to Wanganui City in 1966.

winter at bason botanical gardens

Hubby took these photos this weekend at Bason Gardens. Click here for the story of the place. I think he has a natural knack for scenery. My back is getting better but not quite up to getting out for photos, yet.
