Westoe Garden and Historic Place

Manawatu Gardens

This garden surrounds an historic (1848) homestead and overlooks the Rangitikei River valley. There are many rare and beautiful trees from around the world together with flowering shrubs, woodland perennials and spring bulbs. Sir William Fox built the homestead, now listed as a category 1 Historic Place, in 1874 because the site of his first house was prone to flooding. Fox was a significant figure in early New Zealand contributing as a politician, social reformer, painter and explorer.
