Set against the backdrop of the Kaipara Harbour, visitors can view 63 inspiring sculptural works as they walk the winding 1km trail through a secluded valley containing a slice of almost every type of iconic New Zealand landscape: manicured lawns, citrus orchards, grassy slopes, regenerating bush, old farm fences, pine forest, potagers, and ponds.

Sculptural works made from wood, stone, recycled materials, clay, steel and plastic by contemporary New Zealand artists have been selected and developed for each context to make mini-galleries within the valley. Works are revealed as the path twists and turns, sculptures are seen from vantage points where picnic spots and seating invite visitors to rest and contemplate the art.

Artists whose work features in the 2012 exhibition include Barry Lett, David Carson, Ray Haydon, Pam Olver, Llew Summers, Gaye Jurisich, Anna Korver, Christian Nicolson, Jin Ling, Jan Gosling, Matthew Williams, Rose Petterson, Darryl Fagence, Sally Lush and Trish Clarke.

This new exhibition opened on Saturday 19 November 2011 and will be on show for 11 months, providing the opportunity for return visits to view the sculptures as the seasons change. Sculpture Gardens open everyday except Christmas Day and Anzac Morning from 9am to 5 pm last admission at 4pm. Allow an hour at least to view all the sculptures.
