The Grounds of Government House Auckland

The grounds of Government House Auckland is one of only a few such large, long-established gardens have survived anywhere in New Zealand. They feature many individual trees that are among the oldest of their kind in the country and because it retains some of the lava outcrops that were once a feature of the area, still covered in places by vegetation that also was once typical. Both the garden's design and its horticultural variety have particular merit.
