Whangārei Quarry Gardens

Northland
All year round

The Quarry Gardens are open year-round and feature subtropical gardens, native forest walks, waterfalls, streams, quarry ruins, tunnels, a very special scented Camellia collection, a five senses garden and so much more.

This community project has been created through the blood, sweat, tears, and laughter of volunteers, supporting companies, and other interest groups. New volunteers are always needed and very welcome! The gardens are looking for gardeners, ‘meet and greet’ volunteers for our visitor centre, as well as extra pairs of hands for their regular events. If you’d like to be involved and part of this community project, please contact the Gardens for more info.
