The Sculpture Park and Arboretum

Dorothy from Tauwhare

We are pleased to announce that the future of the sculpture park and arboretum is now more assured.


The Art-in-Nature Arboretum Trust is up and running! The inaugural board includes trustees with a wide range of expertise and skills to contribute to the park's operations: Rob Graham (Wintec), Felicity Campbell, Ian McKim, Simon Reynolds, John and Dorothy Wakeling.

Watch this space as this charitable trust drives more initiatives to promote creative and environmental inspiration at the park.
To make it easier for visitors to come into the park an online booking system will be running shortly.
The Trust still needs volunteers for all sorts of projects—please get in touch at sculpturepark1@gmail.com if you are interested.

Poll: Do you go to the A&P show?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A gigantic show-stopping bull called Axle, traditional blacksmithing and farriers, and all creatures large and small entertained thousands at the region’s annual A&P show.

The sights, sounds, and the smells of all things rural returned to Claudelands Showgrounds on the weekend as the Waikato A&P Show celebrated the rural way of life.

Do you go to the A&P show? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
