OMG. The Welling­ton Botan­ic Gar­dens, cur­rent­ly teem­ing with life and colour and gen­er­al spring­time joy, gets a men­tion on an upcom­ing episode of The Simp­sons, the first of the new series.

The episode guest stars local boys made good Bret and Jemaine Con­chords, and the pair use the Botan­ic Gar­dens good name for great lolz:

And remem­ber the annu­al Spring Fes­ti­val is cur­rent­ly hap­pen­ing at the Botan­ic Gar­dens, so why not take the oppor­tu­ni­ty to frol­lick in the spring blooms and say you were down with the gar­dens before they were famous.
