Spanning six acres on the corner of Clover and Patons Road in Hope, Richmond, the Gardens of the World is an award-winning arboretum that features rare and exotic plants from around the globe. The gardens are designed and laid in zones, each of which represents a different continent or style of gardening, such as an African garden with aloes, an English garden featuring roses, and a Japanese garden with cherry trees. The garden is also home to the Pohutukawa tree, also known as New Zealand’s Christmas tree. The gardens host a variety of celebrations and special events like birthday picnics and garden weddings.
