Rotorua Festival of Gardens
The Rotorua Festival of Gardens is being held 12/14th November 2021.
We are still looking for those lovely secret gardens to be part of the Festival. If you know of any please let Trish know at info@rotoruagardens.gmail.nz.
We are also looking for musicians and performers. To entertain in certain gardens and at the Te Ruanga Tea Rooms and Band Rotunda.
We are also having a market on the 13th November by the Bandstand.
Are you a crafts person or do you grow plants for sale?? We would like to hear from you ????

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
