The Council owns and manages the gardens, which are free for visitors and locals to enjoy.

There is a strong network of volunteers and community organisations who support the gardens and their programmes.

On a national scale, Wellington's botanic gardens have a number of significant plant collections.

Otari-Wilton's Bush is the only public botanic garden in the country devoted entirely to the cultivation, study and preservation of native plants.

Wellington Botanic Garden and Otari-Wilton's Bush are both recognised by the New Zealand National Gardens Trust as being of national significance.

All gardens have well-maintained walking tracks.

Public events are often held in the gardens, such as Summer Shakespeare productions, Wellington's annual Spring Festival and Summer City concerts and activities.
