Woodland garden an environmentally friendly business
Trelinnoe Park provides “an impression of heaven” for ELTO officials
The gardens, at Trelinnoe Park, 45 minutes out of Napier, were developed in the 1960s by brothers Brian and John Wills. ELTO official Bolormaa Borkhuu from the Ministry of Nature, Environment and Tourism in Mongolia, reports on her visit in August 2009 to this heavenly paradise.
One of the disadvantages of many business activities is pollution. Trelinnoe Park, a woodland garden with a wide and unique collection of rare trees, shrubs and flowers is an environmentally friendly business. It is a tourist attraction without pollution and at the same time, it makes a profit.
The woodland garden with its diverse and unique collection of trees, shrubs and flowers gives you an impression of heaven. It was an incredible experience to be in the garden. I believe that I saw and felt there flowers and trees which grow only in heaven. I hope I have a chance to visit there again.
Due to the geography, site and plant selection, the garden has four seasons. Every season expresses its distinctive and colourful features. The gardens contain plants from habitats such as the Himalayan high mountains to semi-tropical climes of Mexico and Brazil including indigenous flora. The beauty of the garden attracts many tourists and it will expand by developing new areas and redesigning old planting areas.
The woodland garden doesn’t produce any pollution, instead it produces natural compost and supports surrounding nature. For instance, soil conservation plantings such as poplars and willows are planted every year.
Trelinnoe Park is a model of an eco-friendly tourist attraction which needs to spread out widely throughout the world. Every business activity should take care of the environment.
