Located at the northern end of Wellingtons Airport Runway: Its sits along one side of the runway at the end of a small road called Jean Batten which is part of a industrial area. The garden sits overlooking Evans Bay on the other side of Cobham Drive.The garden was completed in 2005
It takes its name after one of New Zealands well known early aviators.Therefore its location is logical.
It can and is easily missed by many as they drive to and from Miramar and or the airport.I came across as part of the normal track walk so what is hidden away.A number of native plants are maturing. There are a couple of benches which were donated by A.E Tilleys.So take a few moments if walking the area to take in the views before heading on.
Jean Batten Good info on NZ online.
Thanks to Rory Bremner from A.E Tilleys for providing the date when garden was finished.
