We first participated in the Tauranga Garden & Art Festival over twenty years ago and have been involved about seven times since in this biannual event. Our ever-changing garden has provided interest to the thousands of people that visited and our gorgeous food platters were well enjoyed by many alongside glasses of local Mils Reef wine.
We have hosted many different local artists since we first opened our newly built showroom back in 2004 and have been running our business ever since.
The garden has definitely evolved over the years. It started out as a cottage garden full of perennials and old-fashioned roses and now we have a garden made up of mostly foliage with lots of maples, topiary and contrasting leaf forms.
One of the latest gardens has drifts of Michaelia Fairy Cream, Hydrangea Limelight, along with Mondo Grasses and Lambs Ear, Daphne and Hellebores.
In addition to the garden we have also established a very large covered deck for entertaining our growing family which has lots of seating, both around a large oversized table seating 14 and an outdoor couch and large chairs covered in an outdoor velvet. Such a welcoming place to be.
Our craft and produce market will be a new addition to the festival this year which will include some goodies from the showroom which we will be selling at discounted prices. Be sure to come and check this market out.
We look forward to you visiting us!
