Hamilton Gardens : Intro from the New Zealand Tourism web site:  
Hamilton Gardens cover an area of 58 hectares and includes the Hamilton East Cemetery and Municipal Nursery. Development of the higher area alongside Cobham Drive, now known as the Victorian Flower Garden, began in the early 1950s. However, most development at Hamilton Gardens has been undertaken since the early 1980s.
Hamilton Gardens have not been developed in the manner of conventional Botanic gardens. Instead, the concept is based on the relationship between people and gardens. This theme is explored through five garden collections - The Paradise Garden Collection, The Landscape Garden Collection, The Productive Garden Collection, The Fantasy Garden Collection and The Cultivar Garden Collection.

Pukeiti : Pukeiti features one of the world's greatest collections of rhododendrons, azaleas and other rare plants. It's set in 320ha of luxuriant rainforest on the lower slopes of Mt Taranaki that contains more than 20km of bush tracks, mountain streams, old logging lines and a waterwheel. 

The gardens are run as a charitable trust whose members are dedicated to providing one of the world's great collections of rhododendrons and azaleas. The undercover Vireya rhododendron collection is world class and there are more than 10,000 shrubs set in the rainforest - a visual feast at any time of the year, but at its peak from September to November. In late October New Plymouth promotes these and other gardens as part of a Rhododendron Festival Week.

Tupare : On the boundary of New Plymouth is Tupare, one of two Taranaki gardens managed by the Queen Elizabeth II National Trust. In 1932, Sir Russell and Lady Matthews started to create a garden from a hillside wilderness on the edge of the Waiwhakaiho River.

After a lifetime of artistic creation and love, the Matthews relinquished their 3.6ha landscaped gardens and Chapman Taylor Tudor Style home to ensure the protection of Tupare as part of New Zealand’s heritage.

Parnell Rose Gardens : The Rose Gardens and Dove Myer Robinson Park are sited above Judges Bay, sloping downwards with pleasant shaded pathways and numerous fine old mature trees. There is a great lookout over the harbour and the busy container wharves, from the cliff-top edge. The Rose Gardens contain some 4,500 roses. The Nancy Steen Cottage Garden with old-fashioned roses and white flowers is especially attractive, and occasional outdoor concerts are held here in summer.
