The “Garden Provinces.”
The “Garden Provinces.”
Marlborough and Nelson, in the South Island, are distinctly “Garden Provinces.” With its wide-spread apple orchards, Nelson sent nearly a million cases of fruit overseas in one season. Nelson has two jewel lakes, Rotoroa and Rotoiti, the health-giving hot springs of Maruia, and the Buller River, which winds through many miles of wild woodlands among high mountains.
