Focus Post: Paloma Gardens

This is a focus post contains photos from a short visit to the Paloma Gardens outside Whanganui. If that doesn't sound interesting, I would skip it. 👋

Paloma Gardens has over 130 species of palms, captivating sculptures, and diverse garden zones. The garden integrates art and sculptures, enhancing the visitor experience with installations from notable artists.

I was afraid that this was going to grab me when I walked by it. 😳
