Ayrlies Garden

On our recent visit to Auckland I visited Ayrlies Garden.  Beverley McConnell and her late husband began developing the garden 50 years ago. 

While the kids enjoyed Rainbows End (a theme park), with their cousin, we enjoyed the tranquility of the garden.  

Wandering around the garden there were places to stop and enjoy the plantings as well as the waterfalls, ponds and the glimpses across the harbour to Rangitoto Island.
