Gardens of the World, published in July, 2022 by DK Publishers, London, showcases famous and iconic gardens from around the world. Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush is in there! We are the only New Zealand garden included. The chapter is written by Bee Dawson, author of our own Ōtari: Two hundred years of Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush.

Bee Dawson, commissioned author of Ōtari: Two hundred years of Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush, has been busy with interviews, telling of how much she learned and the delightful encounters she enjoyed with key people in the Ōtari community, while researching for the book.

Listen to Kim’s interview with Bee here.
And here is a delightful Wellington City Council Library blog post.
