A five-acre landscaped garden in Muriwai Valley near Waimauku, built around a water garden, a lily pond and statues of the Ascended Masters. The gardens sit within the owners' home property. Flower beds change with each season, with spring flowers, roses and camellias among the plantings, and the lily pond blooms at different times of year. The water garden is a haven for wildlife, and the garden art is placed to add to the natural setting.
Garden clubs, retirement villages and social groups visit, and the gardens can be combined with local eateries and cellar doors. The site lists family picnics, long lunches, proposals and renewals of vows, along with special public events. An art gallery shows original paintings of the Ascended Masters by Glenn Lewis, a spiritual artist and psychic medium. Visitors can sign up for email news about new events. Our pick near Waimauku for a quiet garden visit with a picnic.
