A selection of NZ gardens to visit
Unhurried, intimate wedding ceremonies.
At Paterson Park and Gardens, your wedding unfolds in a calm, private setting designed for connection rather than crowds.
With exclusive use of the gardens, your day flows naturally—from ceremony to photographs to relaxed time with your guests. On the hills above Waikaka, Paterson Park and Gardens’ beautiful vistas and spaces will charm you and your guests. Space for post-ceremony drinks & nibbles
Beautiful, natural photo locations throughout.
I just wanted to thank you for allowing my twin sister and me to visit your amazing property last week. What an absolute inspiration and delight you are Judy. You’ve kept that dream alive after your dear husband passed and I think it’s keeping you going!! We so enjoyed the experience, swapping our funny gardening stories and seeing your beautiful garden. The photos don’t do it justice but I created a post on my own page, The Uralla Garden. Hope you don’t mind. I used some of the photos from your website but captioned them as such.
Hope you are well and once again thank you Judy
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
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.
Thank you for a wonderful visit yesterday to a wonderful garden Anne. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and I know they will never forget it. Very many thanks,
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.
Heartfelt thanks from both of us for the most magical weekend celebrating our "Happily Ever After". Nestled in the native bush at HUs Boutique Venue & Accommodation, our intimate ceremony with close family and friends was an absolute dream. You went above and beyond as our host, and we’re so grateful. Check out our video reel on the HŪS website — it perfectly shows off the amazing venue and how well it accommodates a winter wedding. All our guests raved about the incredible location, magical setting, and fabulous all-round experience. We highly recommend HŪS to anyone looking for a stunning, intimate venue in Auckland.
"Thank you very much for hosting the Matangi Garden Club yesterday in your gorgeous garden. Members loved the calm soothing environment. the space and the beautiful plantings. From the number of photos taken, you've inspired quite a few people with good ideas. You turned on a perfect day as well."
"Thank you so much for giving us your time to visit your beautiful garden. Our ladies enjoyed listening to how the garden has been established. Much appreciation from Kotuku Garden Club."
