Puketarata Garden, Taranaki

Extensive plantings of trees, both native and introduced, over the past 30 years have turned bare hillside into a garden which sits comfortably within its wider landscape, bordering the 400 year old Puketarata Pa. The skilled blending of many native plants with exotic and introduced plants is a particular strength and the mature cordylines (our iconic cabbage trees) are an eyecatching and unusual feature. Generous herbaceous plantings feature throughout the garden.
