Gardening Tour - Calling all Gardeners & Photographers
If you have a passion for gardening or photography, then come join Jo McCarroll (Editor NZ Gardener Magazine) and Lesley Whyte (multi-award winning photographer) on our “jammed packed” four days as we explore amazing gardens in the Marlborough region.
For the gardeners, we will be visiting some of region’s most recognised and acclaimed gardens. Not only will you meet the passionate people behind these gardens, you’ll come away with knowing what you can do to prepare your garden for the full spring blooming period; when to mulch, prune and even understand their planting regime.
Now, for the photographers, you will also be spoilt if you are a macro or landscape photographer, Lesley will work with you on how to capture some stunning images and even if you are a smart phone user, you will come away with some new ideas on composition.

Some Choice News!
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.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
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!
