There’s a chance to have a peek into some of the city’s grandest gardens next month, when the Auckland Garden DesignFest returns after a three-year break.
The two-day event on November 26 and 27 and is organised jointly by the Garden Design Society of New Zealand and Rotary Newmarket. The aim is to showcase the best of New Zealand garden design talent while supporting a number of charities, including Lifeline Aotearoa, Garden to Table, OKE and KidsCan.
The event allows attendees to visit up to 18 professionally designed gardens in the city’s swankiest suburbs, including Herne Bay, Ponsonby, Epsom and Remuera. Visitors can meet the designers who created them, as well as ask questions, get advice and fuel their gardening imagination and inspiration with ideas for enhancing their own gardens and outdoor spaces.
Auckland Garden DesignFest chair Deb Hardy says it is exciting to be back for the first time since 2019.
“We are so incredibly excited to be back for 2022 after sadly having to cancel our event last year due to Covid. We have so many spectacular gardens on display this year and our designers can’t wait to welcome everyone. It’s going to be a wonderful weekend.”
Tickets to visit all gardens cost $55 if bought before October 31, or $65 after that, or $25 for a three-garden pass. They can be bought online from www.iticket.co.nz/events/2022/nov/auckland-garden-designfest or from Kings Plant Barn.
