Hamilton Gardens, 2

Continuing our day's visit at Hamilton Gardens, January 24th...

Now in the traditional Maori garden, Te Parapara




Moving right along again, the Tudor garden



Major feature of the Sustainable Backyard Garden is that someone
needs to be working in it...

Backyard garden furniture Gaudi might have approved of...note
embedded glass, tile, TV remote, utensils...


A highlight was the garden depicted in New Zealand author
Katherine Mansfield's classic "The Garden Party," which daughter
Rebecca taught for many years; she had heard of Hamilton Gardens
while visiting Mansfield's home in Wellington

An upper middle class garden party

I might have been the chauffeur

All set up on the tennis green




The Picturesque Garden referencing Mozart's Magic Flute...

Pappageno


The Flute




The Concept Garden left us, um, wondering...

Not sure where this fit in, but the Lewis Carroll quote goes "If
you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there"

Down under astronomical depiction


In the produce or kitchen garden
