🌿 Gibbs Farm Fundraiser - Restore Rodney East 🌿

Restore Rodney East is a community-driven initiative, aimed at supporting local conservation-based groups and projects to achieve their respective missions and goals.

Over the last decade, there has been a growing national and local awareness of the impacts of invasive species and human development on our precious and unique ecosystems of Aotearoa New Zealand. Rodney East has one of the highest densities of groups working towards achieving pest-free status – our initiative is bringing the many projects closer together in order to be more collaborative, consistent, and effective. 🤝

🌿 The Sculpture Experience

Nestled in the breathtaking Kaipara Harbour, just north of Auckland, Gibbs Farm is an expansive, open-air sculpture park unlike any other. As you wander at your own pace across manicured fields, you’ll encounter colossal sculptures, some towering like skyscrapers in a rural setting, each commanding attention in the vast landscape.

Home to the greatest collection of large-scale outdoor sculptures in the country, the park boasts major site-specific commissions by some of the world’s most renowned artists. Every piece is carefully placed to interact with the land, sky, and sea, creating a truly immersive experience where art and nature blend seamlessly.

Feel the immensity of the sculptures, embrace the vastness of the landscape, and let your imagination run wild. This is art on a scale like no other—a place where creativity knows no bounds and where every step reveals something unexpected and awe-inspiring.

So come, walk among giants, and let Gibbs Farm leave you with a sense of wonder that lingers long after you leave. ✨
