Herb Garden

"Come have wild thymes in the garden!"

Canopied by old-fashioned roses and guarded by box hedges, Herb Haven is 2 acres of tranquil herb garden located just 40 minutes south of Auckland.

Each part of the garden, medicinal, culinary, fragrant and cosmetic comes together to complete the overall sense of romantic peace. This colourful and vibrant informal garden is one for all seasons although it is at its peak from Spring through Summer. At these times the garden is a mass of colour and fragrance. The beauty of the garden lies in the fact that it is unfussy with wonderful character reminiscent of the traditional medieval herb gardens of Europe.
