NZ Gardener VIP Tours - Waiongana Gardens

NZ Gardener is excited to be partnering with the highly anticipated Taranaki Garden Festival to launch the first ever NZ Gardener VIP Tours!

Join editor Jo McCarroll this spring as she hosts a series of bespoke tours as part of the festival’s jam-packed 10-day programme - a celebration of New Zealand’s biggest collection of glorious gardens, art and events.

Along with the garden owners themselves, the guided tour will explore this four hectares garden bound by the Waiongana River that has many varied spaces and includes a Sunken Garden, Rose Garden, Redwoods, Native River Walk, log walls and a developing produce area, to name but a few. The mostly flat terrain has enabled a large variety of easy walking avenues and vista viewpoints. This garden is well known for the herbaceous peonies that usually flower during the festival.

Garden enthusiasts can also look forward to exclusive one-on-one time with Jo and have the opportunity to ask all those burning questions, or hear first-hand expert advice on garden tips and tricks that they love to read about in their favourite gardening magazine.

Following each tour, the intimate group will enjoy some light refreshments in a tea party setting, as well as receive a complimentary goody bag filled with garden essentials.
