Whanganui District Council’s Senior Parks Manager, Wendy Bainbridge, says this week two picnic tables and in-ground lighting were stolen from Rotokawau Virginia Lake. She says in recent months numerous plants have also been stolen from both Bason Botanic Gardens – rated as a four-star garden by the New Zealand Gardens Trust – and Rotokawau Virginia Lake’s much-loved Winter Garden.
