The Impossible Garden by Emma Bass

Alberton is a historic homestead in Auckland, New Zealand, built in 1863. Cared for by Heritage New Zealand, it is open to the public as a museum. Nestled in the Mt Albert suburb of Aotearoa New Zealand’s largest city, Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland, Alberton showcases a majestic colonial property and the lives that made it a much-loved and admired home. When you visit this historic 18-room home you’ll be transported into the world of early Auckland’s fashionable set, where garden parties, mounted hunts and archery were enjoyed with a distinct Victorian backdrop.
