Rhododendron Gardens
The Orton Bradley Rhododendron garden is now recognised as a collection
of national significance.
The New Zealand hybrid collection is one of the most comprehensive to be found, and includes an almost complete collection of Canterbury hybrids.
The developing species collection contains a number of rarely seen species. The plants have been grouped to provide impact foliage and colour, while companion plants, such as the Himalayan Lilly, have been chosen as they naturally coexist with rhododendrons and have rarity value.
