GARDEN CLOSED

Wayne & Rosa

Unfortunately this garden is now closed for the festival due to unforeseen circumstances.

Our microclimate gully garden is something different. With a bridge, stream, terracing, sculptures, pathways, seating and unique pruning (platted trees) of natives and exotics. The gardens diverse design concepts are a response to Climate-Change. Also, attempting to be inclusive of concepts relating to (Māori) Manaaki Whenua; ‘Manaaki – to cherish, conserve and sustain. Whenua encompasses the soil, rocks, plants, animals and people inhabiting the land’.

"The thanks should go to the gardeners who open their gardens to allow garden lovers to enjoy. They must be exhausted tonight! Without them there would be no gardens open to enjoy. Congratulations and thanks - you deserve it."
