Eden Gardens - A short stroll from Eden Terrace

Andrea from Eden Terrace

It has been described as Auckland's best-kept garden secret. Located at 24 Omana Avenue, Epsom, Eden Garden boasts the largest and most varied collection of camellias in New Zealand. There are also a number of one-off projects, such as planting Tulip bulbs for the Tulip display (which takes place in the Spring - late August). After Tulip time, the perennial garden is planted for a wonderful vibrant summer display.
The five and a half acres take around half an hour or up to half a day, depending upon your schedule.
There is wheelchair access, parking for up to 40 vehicles, and dogs are allowed on a leash.
The cafe is open from 10 am - 3.00 pm Wednesday to Sunday, year-round and you can bring your own picnic.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
