 Fern House
The Fern House was constructed in 1955 as a result of bequests from Mary Rothney Orr and James Foster. A narrow meandering path winds through collections of New Zealand ferns, the most significant of these being a New Zealand icon the Silver Fern (Cyathea dealbata). Beneath the path a gentle stream moves through the house creating a perfect environment for moisture–loving ferns such as Asplenium and Blechnum.
