Summer Garden Open Days Saturday and Sunday 4th and 5th March 202310.30am - 4pm
You are welcome to come and explore our garden this weekend. As it will the the last opening for this Summer we may open both days (depending on the weather) so please keep an eye out on this page. We have 633m2 of themed garden areas on a sloping east facing terraced property. If you are wanting ideas for what you can do with your garden you will hopefully find some inspiration here. I will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.
We have steps and sloping paths but most people seem to manage them OK. There are plenty of seats so take your time and enjoy sitting in the different areas to absorb their special ambience. Different themes in the garden rooms encompass French, Asian, Subtropical, Mediterannean, topiary and meadow styles. We also grow a lot of herbs, vegetables, fruits and dahlias.
It is too expensive to advertise so please tell your friends in the Wellington region who may be interested. All welcome. Entry by donation please.
