Event description
Two guided tours 10am-11.30am and 1pm-2.30pm
The garden tour features regenerating forest with original mature rimu and pokaka trees, productive vegetable garden, rare exotics and a valley of Gondwana plants. Visit the stunning and diverse Hereweka Garden that is an oasis nestled in a valley on the flanks of Hereweka (Harbour Cone).
Peter is particularly proud of his Gondwana garden where he has planted species from South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Lord Howe Island and South America. These include tree ferns, podocarps, cordylines, araucarias and a huge African dandelion.
We suggest you car pool to the property because parking is limited.
The $10 charge will assist with ongoing maintenance of the garden. Maximum 16 people per tour.
Cost: $10/adult, children free
