Ayrlies Garden
Ayrlies Garden is a country garden near Whitford, southeast of Auckland on the North Island of New Zealand. It is one of New Zealand's best-known gardens,〔(gardens.co.nz )〕 and has been described as the "quintessential New Zealand garden".〔(''Best: A New Zealand Compendium'', Ella Griffiths, Awa Press, 2004, ISBN 0-9582509-2-8, p.52 )〕
The garden now covers some of rolling terrain, with large lawns, ponds and waterways, and heavily planted informal borders which make strong use of colour, including a "lurid border" of 'hot' colours. Some areas feature roses, clematis and perennials; others contain lush, sub-tropical plants, such as Petrea, Alocasia, bromeliads, vireya rhododendrons and Ficus dammaropsis. It also includes many large trees - mostly liquid amber, swamp cypress and pin oak - which have grown rapidly in the warm and wet climate, with rare frosts and over of rain a year. It contains several structures around the main house, including a small 'sitooterie' - a low gazebo, to sit out in and admire the view. The large site is unified by a consistent planting and use of materials.
The garden was created by Beverly McConnell and her late husband Malcolm, co-founder of New Zealand engineering and construction company McConnell Dowell. It is named after Malcolm McConnell's grandfather's farm in Scotland.〔(''New Zealand Listener'', March 31-April 6 2007, Vol.208, No.3490 )〕 The garden began in 1964, when the McConnells moved to the site with their young family, starting with a coastal site which was previously bare paddock with a heavy clay soil, and expanding to in 1978, including the addition of three large ponds. From 2000, of swamp flats below the homestead were transformed into a wetland area with an lake, linking the garden to the Hauraki Gulf nearby.〔(Wetlands )〕
The garden is open to the public, by appointment.
