Save the Begonia House

$7,672 of $100,000 goal
Given by 104 generous donors in around 4 months

The Friends are asking for donations to help us keep the Begonia House where it should be, in the rose garden and not at the dump.

Wellington

The Wellington City Council is considering demolishing a well loved, much visited Wellington icon. We are, as Friends of the Wellington Botanic Garden, extremely concerned about this very final decision. The removal of the building denies the opportunity for the public at large and the many educational, cultural and societal groups to immerse themselves in the special environment offered by the enclosure.

About us

The Friends support the conservation of the garden, offer a friendly guiding service to visitors and help out in a whole range of other ways such as tending a special section of the garden.

Use of funds

All donations will be used to reverse the WCC decision to demolish the Begonia House. This will require media and social media exposure, advertising, signage, petitions, demonstrations and possibly defending our position in the court of law.
