A selection of NZ gardens to visit
The Sculpture Park at Waitakaruru ArboretumThe Rusty Acre is our latest garden to list and is a former quarry that has been transformed into a 17.5-hectare arboretum with more than 30,000 trees from around the world. The rehabilitation started thirty years ago in 1991. A 2km art-in-nature trail has more than 100 sculptures and installations within one of New Zealand’s largest outdoor galleries, set within a landscape of cliffs, ponds, rocks, and sweeping views over the Waikato.
The owners, John and Dorothy Wakeling, initiated this 30 year-long project. They have recently passed the park over to a charitable trust. The park is now run by the Art-in-Nature Arboretum Trust.
