Autumn Garden Tour
Cashmere Presbyterian Church are running an Autumn Garden Tour on Saturday 2nd March.
Enjoy and be inspired by a self-guided tour around a selection of gardens in an area ranging from Cashmere to Tai Tapu.
From small-but-large-in-content gardens, to one with four hectares of native planting, there is something to interest everyone. Tours of Moffatts Flower Company, and a talk about the regeneration at Ernle Clark Reserve will also be available.
Gardens will be open to visit between 11.00am and 4.00pm, and Cream Teas will be available to purchase at the Church from 10.15am to 3pm.
Tickets are $50 each, and can be booked at events.humanitix.com... (note, there is no credit card surcharge to book through this method)
