Charitable Trusts
Based in Taranaki, New Zealand, with national and international members, we are a bunch of passionate enthusiasts, who have been growing and caring for Pukeiti’s “rhodos in the rainforest” for more than 70 years.
Our Founders set up the Pukeiti Rhododendron Trust, Inc. in 1951, purchasing a block of land on a saddle between Taranaki Maunga and the Kaitake Ranges to establish a garden of international importance and grow a world class collection of rhododendrons in New Zealand’s unique temperate rainforest. The site had been named Pukeiti by the local iwi after the nearby Pukeiti lava dome which means “little hill”.
OUR PURPOSE
Conserving the Rhododendron
The Trust’s focus has always been “how does our work benefit our beloved garden?”, but these days we are also very much focused on “how does our work benefit the conservation and survival of species Rhododendron?”
