Virginia Winder: A garden about people, places and plantsGRANT MATTHEW/STUFF Brooker says rimu are regenerating throughout Pukeiti. Virginia Winder takes a stroll and learns about the foundations of the much-loved public garden. "The key to this garden for me is that it's about people, places and plants." Once mentioned, never forgotten – as we follow Brooker through the garden, rimu appear to pop up at every turn. Around 1970, Matthews sourced three plants and put two in the family garden at Tupare and one at Pukeiti.
