• Another new garden to the site is Amberely House  First established in 1876, Amberley House occupies a special place in the history of North Canterbury, New Zealand.

  Amberley House includes an arboretum, with countless specimen trees and shrubs and endless walkways, glades and fairways contained in a park-like valley.  An extensive pond network in the valley is surrounded by around 2500 specimen trees – a large number still bearing their nameplate at their base. The rich earth from the excavation of the ponds was used to build the raised beds and banks for planting and landscaping, creating the forms and structures seen today. The ponds are fed by natural springs, sourced from aquifers that flow down from the slopes of Mount Grey.
