Arborist Brian Cox of Tree Locations has built a magnificent church that has been completely constructed with living trees in a beautiful green area of Ohaupo, New Zealand. The accompanying grounds also feature a great deal of Cox’s stunning handiwork.

After travelling the world and being a keen observer of Churches, Barry Cox decided to construct a unique Church of his own using living trees and utilising his Tree Spade. After starting construction in April 2011, the Tree Church Gardens are now available for public visits and private events. The gardens also include a shaded area under a large canopy constructed from a Military cargo parachute which is raised by a hydraulic ram.
