A memorial garden on Bracken Street in Petone, where engraved bricks along the paths each mark someone or something special. The garden is a joint community project of Te Omanga Hospice, the Rotary Club of Hutt River Valley and Hutt City Council. People use it for remembrance and reflection, and for family picnics. Each year, usually in November, a ceremony is held to lay the engraved bricks, and everyone who has bought one is invited.
Brick prices start from $150 as at 2026. Orders can be made with the brochure on the Te Omanga Hospice website, or by picking one up from the hospice. The fundraising team can be called on 04 979 6681 or emailed at fundraising@teomanga.org.nz. We hear that brick orders for this year closed on 18 September. The garden is in Memorial Park, Petone, Lower Hutt 5012. Our pick in Petone for a quiet place of remembrance.
