Enjoy a relaxed art and garden experience strolling along a gentle 1km sculpture & garden trail set in a tranquil and inspirational rural oasis located at award winning Kaipara Coast Plant Centre, just 40 minutes drive from Auckland City. Allow around 1 hour to walk the main sculpture trail, and it is suitable for all ages. You can also walk Don's Conservation track. This track takes you on a winding journey through native forest, along streams and waterfalls and focuses on a conservation message. The Conservation track takes around 30mins to walk, with a reasonable level of fitness recommended and is not suitable for pushchairs. Listen to the birds as you enjoy the gardens and over 40 selected sculptures by leading New Zealand artists. Sculptures are for sale and the display changes completely with the new exhibition opening in November each year to give you a fresh experience each time you come. There is a small coffee spot onsite in the plant centre selling coffee, gourmet pies and ice-creams.

This is a beautiful plant centre with a cafe. The treat here is to pay the $10 per person to do the walk through the Sculpture Gardens. These gardens were initiated and implemented by the owners and our local Art Curator, Sally Lush. They change the sculptures annually so every year is a refreshing new look.
