Eastern Border
The eastern rhododendron border is planted mainly with NZ hybrids taken from the former trial gardens. Larger rhododendrons include "Barnsdale" rhododendrons, hybridised by Tom White, and "Sentry Hill" rhododendrons, hybridised by his son John. These are to be found in the Birch Garden above the Hawkes Bay pond.
