First, two videos from the Botanic Gardens of South Australia. We start with gorgeous drone footage of fall colors at the Mount Lofty Botanic Garden, from May 2016. Then below the jump, sacred lotus flowers at Adelaide Botanic Garden in January 2017. Next up, "Spring Blossom Valley" at the Auckland Botanic Gardens, posted in January 2019 but I assume shot several months earlier. Then, 10 minutes of peaceful footage from Eastwoodhill, the national arboretum of New Zealand, from May 2017.

Thanks Robin for some great gardens! One of the most inspiring gardens I have visited is the Royal Botanic Garden at Cranbourne, about an hour from Melbourne. An all-native garden with incredible modern design, responding to themes of desert and water. I think Monty Don may have done a feature on it.
In NZ we have a wonderful rhodendron garden called Pukeiti, in Taranaki ( North Island ) but best of all …and most vulnerable…are the big Kauri forests in Northland Tane Mahuta

There is a short video of the giant kauri tree
Thanks Kanuka! I will add that one to my garden video list for tonight, and will see if I can find an official channel for Pukeiti.
