A selection of NZ gardens to visit
The latest garden to list on the site is is Ngata, An expansive English country garden of national significance , nestled in the heartland of the Rangitikei.
Here, you will find an outstandingly designed Alfred Buxton country garden set within 3 acres, boasting views over the Hiwera Valley and on up to the majestic Ruahine Ranges in the far off distance, to the south.
This garden features large old English trees, such as oak, linden, liriodendron, beech, (copper and native), elm, cedar, ash, plane, and a parotia persica, all dating back from 1936.

They are so good for the kids and adults it was like a world of wonder land with its hard worked products and tasty goods on the table. It might be made by hand, but you can tell it was worked on for months.
It is a must-see!

We all came home inspired.... thank you again for sharing your stunning garden with us and making us so welcome in your home.

Visiting Jules' tropical paradise is amazing. Her knowledge of tropical plants is huge. Each time I visit, she introduces me to plants I didn't know about and will even show me photos of the flowers on her phone. The nursery is beautifully landscaped and an easy walk around. Plenty of parking for cars and buses as well. Well worth a visit.
Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful oasis with me.
It exceeded my expectations and the high tea was exquisite. You have inspired me to get on with my life projects!
As always, I had a MOST MARVELLOUS time at Garden Marlborough. I learned lots, enjoyed the company of many fine folk and saw many beautiful gardens.
Thank you very much for our visit today. Your kindness and hospitality is very much appreciated. Your garden is a real credit to you both.
Many thanks for hosting our Garden Club last Wednesday. We enjoyed viewing your extensive garden, especially the guided tour and the knowledge you shared with us. I guess we also need to thank your husband. Many thanks.
Beautiful,intriguing and wonderfully cared for garden in Howick...full of lovely roses and plants. Val is a wonderful hostess and always thinking of her guests. The garden is easy to navigate with no steps/uneven lawn...crammed with points of interest and charm.
Fate would have it that Google maps recommended this road to Lake TaupÅ. I am an amateur vase collector but this blew my mind. Have seen glass blowing in Venice but this topped that. Walked away with 3 pieces but could have left with more. Intimate but yet expert artisans. Loved every minute. Thank you
