Finally a stopover at Seoul airport - and this garden is inside the arrivals hall.

You will notice in the previous photos that Agave attenuata is very popular. All the previous photos of gardens (except the wellington bot gardens) were private gardens - with as far as I know the owners being non-hobbyist cactus and succulent owners, we just drove around and took photos from the street of gardens we liked.

Nice to see you back Andrew!:)

Great pics, the plants certainly seem to thrive in the New Zealand climate, I take it frost is a rare occurence. I'm amazed at how tidy and pristine everywhere looks. Shame it's so far away.

Hi Vic

In the Tauranga/Mount Maunganui/Papamoa and Auckland Area frosts are light or rare especially by the sea.

Tending more towards cacti :D, particularly Gymnocalyciums, Rebutias, Sulcorebutias, Echinopses, Thelos, Feros and Mamms (and anything else I like the look of!) all in an 8 x 6 polycarb greenhouse and a few windowsills!
