Renowned New Zealand designer Michael Mansvelt has transformed an empty garden centre into a site so verdant and vibrant, he has named it Jungle Nurseries.

Michael bought the 1.5-acre (6070-square-metre) property in early 2020, then with help from his team, filled it with his favourite plants. The nursery features several large glasshouses ideal for growing rare and exotic tropical plants – the main glasshouse is a must-see and perfect destination for rainy festival days. Visitors will be inspired by the interesting plant combinations and playful and rhythmic design. Refreshments available for purchase.
