Te Puna Quarry Park, Tauranga Overview
The Te Puna Quarry Park was built and maintained by volunteers, and the first set of plantings in the Area occurred in 1997. The park is known for its specialised plant groups and the different gardens such as the Australian Area, the Palm Grove, the Herb Garden, Mixed Ornamentals, the Fuschia Area, the Magnolias, and the Butterfly Garden and the Clivias.
The park is also loved by tourists and locals alike because of the thirty artistic outdoor sculptures beautifully made and settled within the park. Most of these sculptures are made of a material like the Hinuera stone, tree fern trunks locally known as ponga and pottery in all shapes and sizes.
