Talisman Arboretum
The Arboretum was planted from the early 1990s onwards and is home to over 1000 New Zealand native trees and shrubs, including a large collection of Hebes. The arboretum is registered with the RNZIH as a notable collection and can be found on their website. The arboretum is far from a static collection with gardens continually being added or improved and new plants are included in the collection as they become available at the nursery.
Open to the public during nursery opening hours the arboretum is a lovely place to wander. It is also an excellent way to see how the plants available in the nursery will look when mature or in a garden setting.
