Upton Oaks Garden

Only 10 minutes from Blenheim Airport or the centre of town, nestled in grape country can be found the private garden of Upton Oaks. Surrounding the 100 year old Victorian homestead are gardens that have been recognised as a 'Garden of National Signifiance' as awarded by NZ Gardens Trust. These colourful gardens comprise of garden rooms contained within a formal framework of hedges and walls. The much photographed 17th century style Knot Garden is a favourite for visitors. Relax on a park bench where you can take in views of the herbaceous borders and pond. A small olive grove leads to large raised vegetable beds and espaliered fruit trees. Meet the owner and gardener for a personal tour. Teas available for groups by prior arrangement.
