Gardens that create a sense of wonder are rare in our cities, where big houses and tiny outdoor spaces are increasingly the norm. But Rod and Lesley Slater's garden on Auckland's North Shore is such a place. When you open the gate you enter a verdant world where native birds flit between tall palms and kauri underplanted with bromeliads, ferns and other lush subtropicals. Floating timber steps link to boardwalks that flow down the slope towards a beach with views to Auckland city, or to the house and its outdoor terrace, which is surrounded by beautifully constructed stone walls.
