Caccia Birch House Open Day 4th November
Come and view the historic Caccia Birch House in Palmerston North and the beautiful grounds that surround it on the 4th of November from 12pm until 4pm.
The Coach House will be open displaying the history archives throughout the old stables.
Stroll through the beautiful gardens and grounds, enjoying the spring flowers and birds and wonderful views over Hokowhitu Lagoon.
We are looking forward to an entertaining spectacle from Future's Past Steampunk members, who will demonstrate teapot races and parasol dueling to the sounds of the ukulele group 'The Strumpettes'
Feel free to bring along a picnic, settle on the large lawn out the front of the house, chill out and enjoy the ambiance - and hopefully some sunshine!
Extensive care has been put into the preservation of the buildings - so we love to share the experience of yesteryear with visitors
We are open to the public and entry is free - we look forward to seeing you there!

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
