Hamilton Gardens, Botanical garden in Waikato Region, New Zealand

The Hamilton Gardens extend over 54 hectares along the Waikato River, featuring 28 different gardens that represent international garden styles and traditions.

The gardens transformed from a waste disposal site in the 1960s to a public space, with the Rogers Rose Garden opening in 1971 as the first major development.

The Paradise Garden Collection displays different civilizations through separate sections including Italian Renaissance, Japanese, and Indian Char Bagh designs.

Entry to the gardens remains free, with multiple access points, parking facilities, an information center, and an on-site cafe near Turtle Lake.

The Hamilton Gardens Rose, discovered as a natural mutation of the Paddy Stephens variety, received recognition in 2008 as a distinct botanical specimen.
