The sixteen-acre Wilson's Mill Garden is a private family garden (even though it is open to the public) and this appeals enormously to our visitors, so we intend to stay in this niche.

It is a garden of strong design with water, trees and lawns giving a feeling of great tranquility. The more structured areas near the house are brimming with plants of many varieties including roses and perennials, while in the woodland and park aeas there is underplanting of rhododendrons and other shrubs.

The garden is known both in New Zealand and in other countries through television exposure and written articles. It is regularly visited by garden identities well known throughout the world, specialist garden tours, world conferences, etc.
