The Taranaki Fringe Garden Festival is a unique experience that will inspire and motivate you to take your gardening skills to the next level. Our festival is in its 14th year, our success being due to the diversity and quality of the gardens we have on offer.

In 2018 the festival runs from Oct 26th - Nov 4th. See our website for more details or to download a brochure. Brochures available at iSite's and major garden centres. $2pp entry fee to each garden.
