Now in its 34th year, the Friends of Hamilton Gardens organisation was formed in 1988 to support the growth of the Gardens and to provide a key focus for community involvement. The Friends of Hamilton Gardens Inc is a New Zealand registered charity, registered number CC23690.

We play a key role in raising awareness and promoting the use and enjoyment of Hamilton Gardens by raising funds for on-going garden developments.

In the past three years we have raised $420,000 for features in the upcoming Ancient Egyptian Garden (opening summer 2021/2022), Medieval Garden and Pasifika Garden.
