2023 Sculpture Exhibition - Grand Opening

A key attraction of the Kaipara Coast Plant Centre is our beautiful Sculpture Gardens. Each year the 40 sculptures, created by local and overseas artists, are replaced and remain on continual display for the following 12 months.

Gather up your friends and family and come along for this year’s grand opening of the new exhibition and be amongst the first to see these wonderful artworks which are located along the 1km gardens trail. There will also be opportunities to mingle with the artists as well as drinks & nibbles to enjoy.

This year we have encouraged artists to create pieces around the theme of connection. On display are artworks that inspire connection, works which explore physical connection, or by creating opportunities for our audience to connect with each other or our environment.

There is also our recently created nature trail, which covers an additional 2.4Km, for you to explore. This is set in the lovely Kaipara countryside and placed so as to blend sympathetically with the surrounding environment.

This is a great way for all the family to spend a fun and relaxing afternoon as we also have an extensive kids play area plus BBQ area within the gardens.

There is also our cute little coffee shop on site plus of course the Plant Centre for you to browse through.

Our knowledgeable and friendly staff will also be on hand to help with any garden related questions.
