fernhill gardens

The giant Wellingtonian redwoods in the broadwalk at Fernhill form a cathedral like aisle. Beyond them stretches the greeness of the Victorian laurel lawn and magnificent springtime blaze of colour from rhododendrons and azaleas. Many of theses specimens were introduced from the Himalayas by the William Hooker expedition. At Fernhill you can see an increasingly rare example of an enclosed Victorian vegetable and flower garden. Many of the trees in the estate date back 200 years and the work of Judge William Darley, who collected plants from all over the world, has been continued by the Walker family.
