Wander through the cherry blossoms, look for fish in the reflective ponds and find your calm to the sound of trickling water through the bamboo at this tranquil garden in Nelson.

Miyazu Gardens

The Wood, Nelson

Enter through the old timber gate, leave the bustle of the street behind you and allow the peace and tranquillity to wash over you at this Japanese-style garden in Nelson. Spend a moment by the Dragon Pond and admire Jim's Pine, a 30-year-old bonsai, then seek out the 100-year-old camellia. This is a place for reflection and contemplation.
