Dunedin Botanic Garden is the oldest botanic garden in New Zealand. It overlooks the city and is quite hilly. Their Mediterranean Garden is beautiful, full of sun loving plants that are mulched with gray gravel. The view to the city was very nice. This is the 5th large botanic garden we visited, considering New Zealand has only 5 million people (very similar to Minnesota) this is a larger number of very beautiful and significant gardens for such a small number of people. However, the gardens are widely distributed, and the climate of the gardens is diverse.
