Horticulture Centre of the Pacific

With nine acres of demonstration gardens to enjoy, you’ll find plenty of inspiration for your own garden. A further 100 acres of conservation park is home to endangered plant species and host to many native bird species. Over 260 volunteers assist in maintaining and growing the gardens and were the first to establish this unique setting.  HCP is also home to Pacific Horticulture College, founded in 1987 providing yearlong professional horticulture education. Community Education programs run year around and our new Couvelier Pavilion provides a gorgeous setting for weddings and events, including our amazing Arts & Music Festival in August each year, definitely one to build your vacation around!
