Sculptures
Artists are working across media: from local stone to iron, bronze, steel, glass, flax, timber and ceramic, from the tangible to the ephemeral with works in light and sound, and on a small and large scale.

There are over 60 artworks for sale and visitors will also enjoy the growing permanent collection featuring works by some of the stalwarts of NZ sculpture.

Park details
Entry is $10pp and free to 16 years and under during the exhibition. There is limited cell phone reception and no eftpos.

All are welcome and onsite parking is free. The Garden is pram and wheelchair friendly. All tracks are grassed and the terrain is mostly flat. Picnickers are welcome during open hours. Well-behaved dogs on leash only (but please take their poop with you).

Gelato and Coffee carts onsite at variable times throughout the exhibition.

About Tai Tapu Sculpture Garden and Native Regeneration Project:
Our mission is to support contemporary sculpture practice in New Zealand and to enhance native biodiversity in Canterbury.

Since Autumn 2010 over 8000 native trees and shrubs have been planted. Our aim is to recreate a podocarp forest of totara, matai, and kahikatea. The garden is also home to rare or threatened native plants of Canterbury. This once bare one hectare paddock is thriving. It is a sanctuary to native birds and sculpture lovers alike.

Make a Day of It
Enjoy brunch or lunch at our local favourites: The Raspberry Cafe, The Store at Tai Tapu, and The Bicycle Thief.
