Beautiful Maple Glen garden
Located in the southern part of New Zealand, Maple Glen garden is privately owned. A family garden, whose owners are Bob and Muriel Davison. They bought the land in 1966, when there was only a small house with a small garden. Despite the great interest in gardening, at the time the Davison family could not afford anything more than trivial shovels and rakes. Development of the park began in the early 1970s, when children appeared in the family. Later the garden was called Maple Glen as there were more than 30 varieties of Japanese maples. For many years the garden area expanded, and today all lands occupy 25 acres. Now, on this territory can be seen very interesting and exotic species of plants and animals of different colors.

This floral paradise is open for couples who have decided to tie the knot among the flowers and singing birds. For such a pleasure you have to pay a fee of $ 500. Dog walking, barbecue and picnics are banned in the gardens. For groups the payment is $ 8 per person. For individual visiting the park does not mean any payment for entry.

Anyone can enjoy some local beauties and leave offerings contributing to the further growth of this unique park. Maple Glen is open to visitors all year round from 9 am to 5 pm.
