This is often a pleasant time of year, the weather is fairly stable and the temperatures are not too high. Little or no rain may fall.
Nights begin to cool.
Many plants only start flowering at this time of year and the Garden still looks good. It flowers for a couple of months and attracts sunbirds, who love the nectar the flowers produce. The sunbirds have bright, shimmering metallic colours and are a pleasure to watch. About 250 bird species have been recorded in the Garden and it's a popular bird-watching spot. A wide variety of indigenous plants are grown here and they provide food and nesting sites for a diversity of birds.
