In the Olive Grove

On the outskirts of Blenheim in an area called Burleigh is a special Olive Grove. It is the RSA Memorial Olive Grove and is sited alongside the Taylor River. The Grove is tended by RSA members and volunteers. The olives are harvested and the pressed oil is sold to support RSA related charities. Relatives of fallen soldiers are permitted to have small memorial plaques at the bottom of the trees. Here is one such memorial.
