Founders’ Entrance is Wellington Botanic Gardens’ main gate on Glenmore Street. If you are walking downhill, this will be your initial exit. Just before it is the Seasonal Flower Beds. This garden is visually exceptional with a lovely fragrance. Have a seat among the sculpted bushes. Examine the small boy with doves in the center of Joy Fountain. They were craved by Alex R Fraser from Hinuera stone. The ornamental bronze frogs around the basin spray water from their mouths. The benefactor for Joy Fountain was Martin James Kilgour. His gift was unveiled in 1946.
