Developed in 1932, TÅ«pare is a premier landscaped garden with a unique homestead, originally developed by Sir Russell Matthews and his family. Walking through the winding path sculpted on the hillside overlooking the Waiwhakaiho River, we find stately trees, deciduous maples, rhododendrons, hydrangeas and much more, that were all carefully planted by Sir Russell. This afternoon we visit Pukeiti Gardens, a 360-hectare rainforest property located between Mount Taranaki and the coast. Established in 1951, Pukeiti is an internationally recognised garden and plant collection renowned for rhododendrons, Pukeiti also features sub-tropical vireyas, magnolia, pieris, and many other varieties for all-year-round interest.
