The orchard at the Kaipara Coast Sculpture Gardens was in full bloom with blossom on the apple, almond, plum, nectarine and peach trees. It was actually even more impressive than the sculpture.
Most parts of the Kaipara Coast Sculpture Gardens were moving into spring but I found just one hydrangea blossom that was still hanging on from last summer.
We took a trip up SH16 a few weeks ago to visit the Kaipara Coast Sculpture Gardens, before the 2012 trail was closed for new works to be installed. I was delighted to find that the competition to design a mailbox had been held again and was quite taken with this entry. It wouldn't solve the problem of our mail getting soggy though.
