A selection of NZ gardens to visit
The latest garden to list on www.gardenstovisit.co.nz is Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Temple New Zealand in Flat Bush. The grounds feature spacious courtyards, stone-paved pathways, carefully maintained shrubs, traditional lanterns and seasonal flowers. In March, the delicate fragrance of osmanthus blossoms adds a special charm to the gardens, inviting visitors to slow down and appreciate their surroundings.

I visited Woodside for a friend's wedding and was blown away by the beautiful gardens. I've lived in Hamilton for many years and can't believe I've never seen this place before. Les, the owner, gardener, host and self-proclaimed comedian hehe... was so accommodating and friendly. We loved the place so much that my fiancé and I will be back here next year to have our wedding too!
Thanks for having us!
Such a magical and truly unique garden. Exploring the many pathways and features along the way is a delight - Jenny’s imagination and passion for her creation is infectious!
Visiting Jules' tropical paradise is amazing. Her knowledge of tropical plants is huge. Each time I visit, she introduces me to plants I didn't know about and will even show me photos of the flowers on her phone. The nursery is beautifully landscaped and an easy walk around. Plenty of parking for cars and buses as well. Well worth a visit.
Janene and the team went above and beyond to give our volunteers a wonderful afternoon. The grounds were stunning, and the food was wonderful; we couldn't be happier with the service we received! Thank you so much for supporting HMC; we so appreciate it.
I attended several of Val's garden tours over the summer months.
Through a shared love of gardens and beauty pageants Val and I have worked together for years. I serve tea and coffèe at many of her garden tours and love how people embrace and linger in this beautiful space. For anyone wanting to embrace a city space, I cannot recommend this paradise of roses highly enough.
We were part of a group of cyclists doing the Laughing Moa cycle trail, and it was suggested we stop and visit the garden on the way. It was a lovely spot to eat our packed lunches and hear about the history of the house and garden from Amanda. The garden is lovely, and Amanda and her dogs were wonderful and entertaining hosts. If you are doing the cycle trail, it's well worth a stop-off.
What a wonderful way to fund-raise for our Zonta Awards - a Garden Tea in a beautiful rose garden of one of our members. Thanks to Val Lott for her generosity in hosting us at her home. Our guests appreciated Val's generous sharing of her knowledge of her garden and the roses. Even though there was a mixture of sunshine and a little liquid sunshine, our guests really enjoyed the company, the delicious food, the ambiance of the afternoon and the background music by a talented young musician. Recommend as a venue
Many thanks for hosting our Garden Club last Wednesday. We enjoyed viewing your extensive garden, especially the guided tour and the knowledge you shared with us. I guess we also need to thank your husband. Many thanks.
Hi Anne & Ron, I just wanted to thank you both so much for our wonderful garden visit on Monday. Our members were all so appreciative of the time you spent with us and amazed at your beautiful garden and the vast variety of plants. We all came home inspired.... thank you again for sharing your stunning garden with us and making us so welcome in your home.
