Kia ora and thank you for your positive review! We are always happy to receive visitors from overseas; we get to showcase the hard-work and botanical variety that makes Northland such a wonderful place to be. Good advice on arriving early on hot days...it gets VERY warm in our sheltered valley! Bon voyage -WQG Crew
Thank you for your positive review! We are very proud of what has been achieved at Whangarei Quarry Gardens so far, and have plans to make it even better in years to come. We rely on donations to make the Gardens flourish, so thank you for your support :) Happy gardening!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are very proud of what has been achieved by our community volunteers over the past 17 years. I would like to point out that Whangarei Quarry Gardens is NOT a free activity, entry to the Gardens is by gold-coin donation. We rely on these small donations to purchase plants and equipment and feel that it is a small price to pay for access to such a wonderful garden. Many thanks for your understanding! -WQG Crew
Thank you for your positive review! Yes the Gardens really are one of the most relaxing places in Whangarei, and we are so happy to hear that you bring overseas visitors to see the fruits of our labour :) Come back soon!
Great to hear you enjoyed your brief visit to our garden oasis. Yes we ARE building a Cafe and Visitors Centre; it has been a dream of local gardeners for many years and should be complete by the end of March 2015 :) We hope to see you back soon, many thanks for your donation to the Garden Fund!
Thank you for your positive words and ongoing support! We are very proud of what has been achieved so far, though we are always looking to improve the Gardens as time goes on. Our volunteers do a wonderful job, and we appreciate every visitor who pops a donation in our collection box. See you again soon! -WQG Crew
