Garden Open Days Sat 16th and Sun 1th October 10 am until 3.30pm
This weekend will likely be the last chance to see the tulips for this year.
Our garden is not just about tulips though. We have designed several small gardens within the whole so you can see topiaries, a long border, Mediterranean slope, French courtyard, mini meadow, herb garden, vegetable beds, citrus and other fruit trees, Asian courtyard, and a tropical styled jungle.
All this on a 633 m2 section in Tawa. If you are after inspiration on how to landscape your section you are welcome to come and have a look.

Entry by donation please.
Mask and Scan/sign in are required at level 2.
Thank you.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

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!
