This former garbage dump! Renovation began in the 1960s and officially opened in 1971. It's now one of New Zealand's most famous attractions, winning the 2014 International Garden Tourism Award. ๐Ÿ“ Address: Hungerford Crescent, Hamilton 3216, New Zealand ๐Ÿ•‘ Opening Hours: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM ๐ŸŽซ Admission: Adults NZD 20 ๐Ÿš Transportation: Take bus 29G to Galloway St., then walk to the garden. Unlike typical "botanical gardens," Hamilton Gardens is more like a garden art museum. Designed around the relationship between people and plants, its 58 hectares feature themed gardens from various cultures and styles. ๐Ÿ”น Paradise Garden Series: Travel through the world's classic garden designs! There are pavilions and towers like the Chinese Yichang Garden, the Zen tranquility of the Japanese Meditation Garden, the symmetrical aesthetics of the Italian Renaissance Garden, the exquisite romance of the Indian Quadrangle Garden, the elegant splendor of the English Flower Garden, and even the sleek lines of the American Modernist Garden. ๐Ÿ”น Landscape Garden Series: Leveraging the topography, walking paths lead into valleys and woodlands, offering views of the Waikato River. ๐Ÿ”น Productive Garden Series: Herb gardens, fruit and vegetable gardens, and traditional Maori gardens showcase the intricate connection between plants and life. ๐Ÿ”น Cultivation Garden Series: Focusing on a single plant, such as roses, camellias, and azaleas, the scenery changes dramatically with each season. ๐Ÿ”น Dream Garden Series: This imaginative area, inspired by abstract concepts like "fragrance" and "time," offers endless surprises. ๐Ÿ›Ž โ€‹โ€‹Visiting Tips โณ We recommend allowing at least two hours to explore the main gardens. ๐Ÿ“ฑ You can rent an audio guide (available in Chinese and English) and listen to stories as you walk. ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐ŸŒพ Caretakers also offer free daily tours, and for a more in-depth look, you can book a private tour. Hamilton Gardens isn't just about "looking at flowers"; it's a journey through a garden of diverse cultures, histories, and imaginations. Whether you're a nature lover, interested in design, or simply looking for a relaxing stroll, this is a must-do. โœจ If you're planning a trip to New Zealand's North Island, be sure to put Hamilton Gardens on your list. #SeptemberGoodPlaces2025 #trip #travel #rywithyou #NewZealand #๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฟ #NewYearGoodPlaces2025 #hamilton
