Auckland Domain Wintergardens

Description

The Winter Garden at the Auckland Domain is a treasure of great historic interest. It was designed in the 1920s in the style of the famous English partnership of Edwin Lutyens and Gertrude Jeckyll. Rare and spectacular plants in an ever changing display can be seen in each of the two barrel vaulted Victorian style glass houses which face out on to an extensive court yard and sunken pool. One house is heated and shows off lush tropical and heat loving plants while the other displays temperate plants changing with the seasons. Substantial pergolas link the formal design and host many showy climbers. A wide collection of New Zealand ferns growing in a sunken scoria quarry to the rear completes the Winter Garden complex.Please note that from 1 November - 31 March Sunday hours are 9 am - 7.30 pm.
