In 1964 a farsighted horticulturalist, Jack Clark, with 15 fellow enthusiasts, took on the daunting challenge of converting an old, abandoned, rubbish-filled quarry into the world-class garden it is today. The quarry on the site of one of Auckland's forty volcanic cones had supplied stone for the early development of the city. It had been purchased by a city businessman, Sir Frank Mappin, as an addition to his neighbouring estate, which he eventually donated to the Crown as the site for Government House. The quarry site was not required and it passed to The Eden Garden Society for development. Many years of back-breaking work followed, emptying the quarry of old abandoned trucks and cars and decades of rubbish, bringing in tons of soil, all done by the core of volunteers.
Five and a half acres.
We are used by wedding photographers for memorable and stunning photos.
Eden Gardens is a gorgeous backdrop for marketing products – with an array of vistas and scenery there is a great number of options for one location.

You may like to consider Eden Garden as a memorial place for your loved one in beautiful surroundings. You may memorialise a shrub, a tree or a rock in the Garden and your loved one's ashes will be interred at the site or near the memorial. If you choose the Memorial Wall the ashes of your loved one will be placed in an unmarked site in the garden.
