Gisborne Rotary and Gisborne City Council including the Mayor and Deputy Mayor are working together to refurbish the Australian Garden in the Botanical Gardens.
This project is aligned with a project being undertaken by the Gisborne Rotary Club of Australia who is working on a refurbishment of the Tane Mahuta Garden in the Macedon Ranges Shire Council supported by the Shire Mayor and which is also supported by the friends of Gisborne (Australia) Botanical Gardens and the local newspaper
Assessment of suitable projects in the Gisborne (NZ) Botanical Gardens An inspection of the gardens has been undertaken and two related projects identified that can be undertaken by Gisborne Rotary Club and friends, as well as work that had already been undertaken and planned by Parks staff.
This includes refreshment of the signage which is completed and some replanting of futher plants consistent with those already in the Gardens in the stretch of gardens adjacent to the road.
The first of these is a repaint of the low concrete walls that form a key element of the Australian Garden. Photos of these walls are shown in Figures One and Two below.
