City Walk Auckland Botanic Gardens Sculpture Exhibition

The Auckland Botanic Gardens (BOTANIC GARDENS) cover an area of 64 hectares, of which 10 hectares are pristine forest, boasting more than ten thousand varieties of flowers, plants, and trees. The gardens aim to showcase the beauty of plants while highlighting their importance to human survival and the environment, raising awareness for plant conservation. The sculpture exhibition at the park entrance is very appealing, with each piece closely related to the plants and nature. Artists use materials such as wood and rocks to create exquisite exhibits. Within the park, amidst the greenery, there are many sculptures. A silver fern leaf-shaped installation rotates in the spray of water when illuminated by sunlight, which is quite unique. The silver fern is New Zealand's national flower, and it is also a lucky charm for the Maori people. The information desk explains that the indoor and outdoor sculpture exhibitions are regularly updated, deepening visitors' impressions of plants while they enjoy the artworks. Some indoor exhibits are priced for sale. The Auckland Botanic Gardens offer free admission, are located a fair distance from the city center, and require several bus transfers to reach. Driving is the best option, with a large, free parking lot.
