Otago Museum in Dunedin, New Zealand has a long, narrow native garden between the museum building and Great King Street. There is an amazing variety of native trees in the small space available including several species that don’t naturally grow this far south but seem to be doing well in the warmth and shelter of their confined city microclimate. All photos taken Sunday 23 July 2017.
