Te Kainga Marire garden. One of my favorite things is visiting private gardens and there are countless opportunities in New Zealand (check out the New Zealand Garden Trust). I met the owner of this home and garden, Mrs Poletti, who, with her husband, built this garden from the ground up beginning in 1972. When I arrived, she was tending the vegetable garden and was gracious enough to give me a mini tour and history of many of the plants. It was a lovely visit and a beautiful space. #newzealand #newplymouth #tekaingamarire #privategarden #garden #landscaping #fernery #plants (at New Plymouth, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv5p5uAl7Pu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1195zxu3ywpso
