Mangakahia Garden Ramble

Mangakahia Sports Complex, Mangakahia Road, Poroti, Maungatapere, Whangarei

Private Residential gardens across Mangakahia, Maungatapere and Maunu areas of Whangarei.

Overview

Join us for the 2025 Mangakahia Garden Ramble on Sunday 23 November 2025!

A unique opportunity to explore a stunning collection of gardens that celebrate nature, creativity, and beauty. From bush paths winding through native trees to vibrant bird havens alive with song, every stop on the ramble offers something special.

Now in its fourth season, fundraising for the Mangakahia Sports and Community Complex, you will have the opportunity to view several new gardens, plus some old favourites, in the Mangakahia Valley in Northland, just outside of Whangarei. 

You'll be treated to nine beautiful gardens with an abundance of flowers in every style and setting—wander through lush cottage gardens, admire the bold beauty of subtropical plantings, and stroll past thriving commercial flower market beds bursting with colour. Discover the charm of a farm park, that offers pick your own flowers in season, and take in the serene beauty of volcanic landscapes and easy-care gardens designed for modern living.

This year’s ramble features a remarkable variety of vegetable gardens, from productive plots to creative kitchen gardens. Meander through well-established old gardens steeped in character, alongside newer, recently created spaces full of fresh ideas and inspiration. Enjoy lush lawns, a historical house, and the sense of history and innovation growing side by side.

Whether you're a keen gardener or simply love beautiful spaces, this is a day out not to be missed.

Comfortable walking shoes, a camera, and a love of nature highly recommended.
