New Zealand's climate ranges from sub-tropical in the north to temperate in the south, and how our gardens grow! Most cities and larger towns have an extensive public botanical gardens and many fine private gardens are open to the public in spring and summer. Many gardens reflect New Zealand's English heritage melded with the unique plants of New Zealand.

Whilst New Zealand is a young country by world standards, many early pioneer stone and wooden buildings have survived. City merchants, enriched by the gold rushes of the 1860's and 70s, and wealthy landowners built fine houses which have been restored to their former glory.
