Hamilton Gardens
Intro from the New Zealand Tourism web site:
Hamilton Gardens cover an area of 58 hectares and includes the Hamilton East Cemetery and Municipal Nursery. Development of the higher area alongside Cobham Drive, now known as the Victorian Flower Garden, began in the early 1950s. However, most development at Hamilton Gardens has been undertaken since the early 1980s.
Hamilton Gardens have not been developed in the manner of conventional Botanic gardens. Instead, the concept is based on the relationship between people and gardens. This theme is explored through five garden collections - The Paradise Garden Collection, The Landscape Garden Collection, The Productive Garden Collection, The Fantasy Garden Collection and The Cultivar Garden Collection.
