One of New Plymouth’s hidden gems, Te Henui Cemetery covers approximately 24 acres and boasts an eclectic mix of plantings designed to provide a year-round display.

Pōhutukawa, cherry blossom and crabapple trees enhance the city’s oldest public cemetery (opened in 1861), and beds of flowers provide colour and vibrancy, attracting native birds and providing a home base for the spectacular Monarch butterfly.

The cemetery is lovingly tended by dedicated volunteer gardeners and New Plymouth District Council's parks staff, and is an inner-city sanctuary with a magic that is unlike anywhere else.

With a five-star attraction rating on TripAdvisor, and featuring in national magazines such as NZ
Life & Leisure and NZ Gardener while also appearing in the Taranaki Garden Festival, this tranquil garden steeped in local history is a must to explore and enjoy.
