Eastwoodhill is the national arboretum of New Zealand
Eastwoodhill is the national arboretum of New Zealand. It covers 131 hectares (1.31 km2) and is located 35 km northwest of Gisborne, in the hill country of Ngatapa. It was founded in 1910 by William Douglas Cook. Cook's life work would become the creation of a giant collection of Northern Hemisphere temperate climate zone trees in New Zealand – a dream that would eventually cost him all his money – buying and importing thousands of trees from New Zealand and British nurseries.

Eastwoodhill Arboretum - Gisborne New Zealand
While in Gisborne we also visited this cool place. Eastwoodhill Arboretum
Very beautiful in Autumn ????we had a pram with us, was not a very pram friendly but otherwise great for kids. Lots of beautiful gardens and cool kids playground and cafeteria with really cheap food. We had lunch at the cafeteria, it was very simple home made food, but so cheap. Reminds me of Hamilton Gardens, but different.

World Cup Walk - Eastwoodhill Arboretum Gisborne
Eastwoodhill Arboretum, the National Arboretum of New Zealand, encompasses 135 hectares of exotic and native trees, shrubs and climber plantings.Visitor services include walking trails for all levels of fitness, the nationally significant Homestead Garden, accommodation, tours for groups big and small.
Situated near Gisborne on the East Coast of the North Island, a picturesque 30 minute drive through vineyards and farmland takes you from the chardonnay capital of New Zealand to Eastwoodhill.The vision of Eastwoodhill is to foster understanding and appreciation of nature by education, research and enjoyment of our unique plant collection which drives public participation and appreciation of the Arboretum.The botanical collection planted by Douglas Cook is regarded as the largest and most comprehensive collection of Northern Hemisphere trees south of the equator, encompassing an area of 135 hectares.This collection could never be imported today due to stringent bio-security restrictions, hence its great value to New Zealand and the wider world. This value has been recognised with the acknowledgement of Eastwoodhill as the ‘National Arboretum of New Zealand'.Eastwoodhill has been highly rewarded for its collection.
It was awarded the internationally recognised 'Arboretum Distinguished for Merit' in 1978 by The International Dendrology Society, the first such award by the IDS. Then in 2004, Eastwoodhill Arboretum was recognised as a ‘Garden of National Significance' by the NZ Gardens Trust.A variety of walking tracks cover the whole arboretum, catering for all levels of fitness and mobility, and guided walking and four-wheel drive tours are offered as well as accommodation, team building and catering and conference facilities. Within the arboretum is the Homestead Garden, a formal garden cared for by a group of dedicated volunteers. The Arboretum is one of the top visitor destinations in Gisborne and attracts over 8,000 visitors annually.

Rere Falls, Gisborne, New Zealand
Rere Falls, Gisborne, New Zealand. Drive approximately 50km north-west from Gisborne on the Wharekopae Road towards the Eastwoodhill Arboretum and you will reach the small community of Rere. Heading down to the Wharekopae River will bring you to the Rere Falls and the Rere Rock Slide (I should mention that these are two different parts of the river just in case you're wondering if people really slide over the falls). Although they are not very high at just 5 metres, the Rere Falls are very picturesque. About 20 metres in width, it is possible to walk behind the cascading water although as the rock face can be very slippery, care should be taken.

International Developments To Support Bee Friendly Habitats - Maureen Maxwell,Trees for Bees
Maureen Maxwell, Oceania Commission of Apimondia.The core idea of both this Trees for Bees Conference and next year's is to greatly increase our knowledge of trees bearing high-protein pollens that can nourish bees (of all types - honey bees, bumble bees, native bees)
Subscribe for more videos
The conference will look more closely at trees that produce pollen in the autumn when bees are collecting their stores for overwintering. Both these times of year are critical and often have pollen shortages so planting out high-protein pollen bearing species will benefit all bees.
The great thing about Eastwoodhill Arboretum for this type of research is the huge diversity in the 12,000+ catalogued trees and shrubs. These represent around 147 families, 475 genera and 1663 species plus over 150 hybrids. This diversity concentrated in one area has facilitated the research on bee forage, as many of these species are undervalued for this purpose and not on bee plant lists.
