Be an Earlybird! On 1 August, you can be! Set a reminder for a week today to snaffle a reduced-price ticket to this year's tour on 6 & 7 November.
This sweet young rifleman earlybird was snapped in the forest at Pūkaha. Do you know its other name?

Ae! The Tītipounamu is NZ's smallest bird - named for its green plumage after the military uniform of a rifleman.
Rifleman = Titipounamu
Tarata garden is full of surprises - a mini tea ‘plantation’ of Camellia sinensis, a colourful wildflower bed, an orange grove, caged berry gardens, meandering forest paths, rhododendrons, Japanese maples, flowering dogwoods and an area where a mass planting of 400 Gossamer grasses echo the wind (a new development since opening on the 2019 tour).

Oooo so exciting
Curious to know how many 'new' gardens will be opening on tour this year? We're thrilled to be bringing you at least EIGHT newbies - including some that have never opened to the public before.

While winter exposes the bare bones of our gardens, it's the ideal time to dream and scheme. Re-imagining the garden in colour as the seasons change is all part of the creative process. Here's a spring view of a new garden to feature on tour this year (you may recognise it from a recent post (through a wintery lens) where piwakawaka flitted about).
If you have a penchant for old roses and cottage garden blooms be sure to add Glengarry to your list for tour weekend. It's a newcomer to the tour (first time opening to the public) and shows what you can do on a quarter-acre urban plot. We're looking forward to sharing this one with you on 6 & 7 November!

Francie Carroll Sara Procter girls, I think we should plan a weekend girls gardening trip. How could gardens and Wairarapa Vino not sound good. Keen?
That’s a stunning iris
