Welcome to Hattenburn Gardens

Your hosts are Anna-Marie Kingsley and Malcolm Batchelor.  The gardens to wander through consist of 6 acres of native plantings, extensive vegetable gardens, and a large developing food forest area. Interspersed with sculptures and artworks the gardens are an eclectic visual feast.  Over one hundred information panels explain various garden systems and techniques used for propagation.  

The gardens are six kilometers west of Carterton nestled in the Tararua foothills at 99 Hinau Gully Road, Carterton.  Parking is available on the roadside, or if mobility is an issue you are welcome to park down by the house. Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a leash at all times.  Due to water hazards children must be kept within arms reach at all times.  

We are open 7 days a week, 365 days a year including public holidays, dawn to dusk.  $7 a person, payable at the roadside produce stall at the front gates or via internet banking – information on the produce stall.
