We're celebrating our 80th with a grand garden party at Larnach Castle!

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours, NZ Gardener is marking an incredible 80 years of inspiring and informing New Zealand gardeners and want to celebrate with you! Join editor Jo McCarroll at the Dunedin event to mark this significant milestone. With a very special edition coming out to mark the anniversary looking at a history of gardening in New Zealand, Jo will take you on a wildly engaging romp through the magazine’s archives, looking back at New Zealand’s horticultural history. Plus, there’ll be lots of extra goodies, with each ticket including:
* Entry and self-guided tour of Larnach Castle Gardens (you're welcome to come earlier to see our beautiful gardens).
* Glass of bubbles on arrival and a continuous grazing board.
* Meet and greet with Margaret Barker, Fiona Eadie and their team of Gardeners at Larnach Castle.
* Spot prizes and a great goody bag packed with gardening paraphernalia (including a brand new, Jack Hobbs-bred Hebe ‘The Gardener’ released to mark NZ Gardener’s 80th birthday!).
Tickets are strictly limited numbers so book early to avoid missing out. In true Garden Party fashion, you are welcome to wear an elegant hat and pop on a pretty dress!
If you are a currently Loyal Local cardholder, contact Larnach Castle's reservations team on reservations@larnachcastle.co.nz or 03 476 1616 to book your ticket.
