We loved Te Puhi 💕
So glad it was another success
I really appreciated seeing the wonderful Hattenburn. Their information cards were super helpful, interesting and witty!
Well done team! We thought the garden selection was especially fabulous this year. 🌸🌞😄
1) doctor’s house. 2)kokotau rd 3) tablelands. Te puhi nudges in there somewhere too.
The Doctors' House.
We loved Tablelands. But all had a special little something.
Loved it all. A nice varied selection. Congratulations on a succesful event. Really enjoyed Old Table lands today. Tiara Country gardens and Kokotau Road. Just loved Casita Flora yesterday and the Dr's Garden.
Adored Featherston's Doctor's House. Just superb.
Didn't get to them all with kids in tow but I loved the Drs house. Table lands was divine, loved Holbrook family food forest as so inspirational for our new block. Had some scrumptious sausages at Kokotau where the kids adored the playhouse. We won some tickets from Balter - so very grateful, it's been a fabulous weekend!
Loved them all, fantastic weekend, we'll be back.
And thank you to your team - what an amazing two days we've had. Felt privileged to see these beautiful properties. So well organized and friendly. My favourite garden was Old Tablelands. It was standout.
Fabulous tour - lots of variety!!Casita Flora, Kokotau Road, the Doctor’s Garden and Awariki were my favourites.Though Hattenburn and Old Tablelands were up there as well.A great weekend away!!!!😀😎😊
We loved the variety too, lots for everyone. Amazing small Garden for Life very impressive (especially for an 80+ year old); grand gardens Old Tablelands and Richmond; simply beautiful Doctors House and Te Puhi; magnificent maples and views at Tikara; elegant simplicity at Kotare; garden humour and art at Hattenburn and the delight of birds singing through the native tree garden. Who could choose just one! Some of the mapping could have been clearer though, FYI.
I only go to do hlaf of them (closest to Masterton) but my fav was Marvin Guerrero's house in Wyndham St Carterton. Just marveled at all that was in there. Was just fab!
Thanks Alix Cooper
Day one of the garden tour. Here’s the Old Tablelands crew relaxing after a fabulous day in the garden. We had 470 visitors today. Thanks to Rob and Liz for making it possible. Enjoy tomorrow tour goers, the weather is looking great!
Totally loved Tablelands - what a garden! Sorry we didn’t make it back for drinks Liz - we had to boot across the way to Craig’s talk.
Amazing garden. Lovely ladies serving the morning teas. Loved the ambience of the woolshed. I could imagine the thousands of sheep going through there.
The sun is shining on the gardens today... here are some of our clever sculptors in the tour....Lisa Donaldson Ceramics and Sean Crawford @ Kotare.
Cheers to the Old Tablelands crew! We had 470 visitors today. If you were one, we hope you enjoyed strolling around the beautiful gardens. Thanks to Liz and Rob for making today possible. Looking forward to tomorrow...
