Aston Norwood Gardens are the quintessential all-year-round oasis …
We hope you enjoy experiencing the gardens as much as we do. Twenty-two years ago, Aston Norwood Gardens, known then as Kaitoke Country Gardens started as bare paddocks with only a few trees. Officially opened to the public in 1995, the gardens have gloriously come of age. There are landscape and water features, including an on-demand waterfall, ponds and the Remutaka Stream with seasonal eels and frogs.
Cherry Blossoms are out mid-September and full of bloom. A must see, they are amazing! As our gardens are forever changing, feel free to witness and experience each new season by returning and enjoying the evolving landscape. Day passes are $5, Yearly passes $15 and Life time passes $30.
New plantings of maples, rhododendrons, azaleas and camellias populate the garden – these are a delight to explore. What are you waiting for? We look forward to seeing you soon.
