Spring FestTulips, tours, art, “Crafty Fifi”, the leg­endary Fairy Tri­na and more at this year’s Spring Fes­ti­val in the Botan­ic Gar­dens. Run­ning from 28 Sep­tem­ber until 12 Octo­ber. I can con­firm that the recent (and typ­i­cal for this time of year) gales have not denud­ed the tulip gar­dens & so weath­er per­mit­ting, Tulip Sun­day on the first day of the Fes­ti­val, should be a beau­ti­ful way to spend an hour or two com­muning with nature. Accord­ing to the offi­cial pro­gramme:

Spring Fes­ti­val is the time to rev­el in the glo­ri­ous riot of spring flower colour and fra­grance at the Welling­ton Botan­ic Gar­den.

Spring Fes­ti­val is proud­ly brought to you by Welling­ton City Coun­cil, with gen­er­ous sup­port from the New Zealand Com­mu­ni­ty Trust and the Welling­ton Cable Car.
