Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: Over 20,000 native and exotic plants thrive across 26 hectares of reclaimed quarry land. Visitors stroll through themed gardens featuring waterfalls, rock formations, and winding walking trails.
Punti salienti: The exquisite collection includes rare and unusual trees like the Chilean fire tree lighting up the path each spring. The gardens are set in a former basalt quarry where Maori stonework artfully blends into natural landscapes, creating a unique harmony.
Consigli da insider
- Wear sturdy walking shoes to navigate varied terrain comfortably.
- Bring a camera to capture the vibrant blooms, especially around the rock waterfall areas.
- Avoid weekends if you prefer a quieter experience, as it can get busier by afternoon.
- Pack water and a small snack, as there are no food vendors inside the gardens.
