The Weeds On the Edge Of Ōtari

More than 150 weed species have been identified growing in Wellington City. Let the Council’s weed guru, Illona Keenan, show you which of these are the biggest threats to Ōtari’s native botanic collections, and learn how to recognize and deal to them in your own gardens.

You'll follow easy paths and gentle tracks during this walk, making it suitable for most visitors. Sensible walking shoes are recommended for comfort and stability.
