In 1932 Sir Russell and Lady Matthews started to create a garden from a gorse covered wilderness on the edge of the Waiwhakaiho River. After a lifetime of artistic creation and love, the couple relinquished their 3.6 hectare garden and gracious Tudor-style home to ensure the protection of Tupare as part of New Zealand's heritage. Under the management of the QEII National Trust, Tupare continues to develop as one of the country's most beautiful and distinctive gardens. Tupare, which means 'garland of flowers', has a number of special features, including the glade, glasshouse, old orchard and cliff cascade. You can see Mount Taranaki's snow-dusted peak from many parts of the garden. The garden is on Mangorei Rd, near the intersection with State Highway 3. It is open daily from September 1 to March 31, and for the rest of the year at selected times or by arrangement. |
