Hello gardeners! Welcome back to Ozzy’s Garden. A few days ago we went to the Waitakaruru Arboretum in New Zealand, a lovely sculpture park in the woods, about ten minutes outside of the city, a lovely walk for all those who come there. Here is everything about it!
As you first head to the front desk have a go at the Ruru trail. See if you can spot some of the Ruru statues hiding through out the walk! There are fifteen in total, we managed to find twelve out of the fifteen. No-one has found all fifteen yet, the record is currently fourteen. If you get a chance to go, (Which I strongly advise) have a go to find all of them. See if you can find a real Ruru having a sleep in or on a tree! Once you’ve found more than five, head back to the desk and post it to possibly win a prize!
As you trek around the gardens, look for some of the beautiful sculptures along the trail in the park, they can be anywhere, all with wonderful proportion. Some are pictures of things, and some are just fun, wacky shapes, or sentences formed in art! There is over one hundred sculptures to find, can you find all of them? Here are some of the ones we found, will you find more?
As you trek this amazing walk, stop by some of the side routes and visit places especially made as different countries of the planet. As you walk through this multi-country biological tour, try and spot your national place, and explore what it would feel like to be in another part of the world like the U.S., plant wise.
I really hope you get the chance to visit the Waitakaruru Arboretum, I found it brilliant and I hope you do to!
