Surf Life- Saving Kariaotahi Garden Ramble

Waiuku and surrounding district.

Overview

Dates for 2024 to come. 

With 21 beautiful gardens on display across the Waiuku area, we have a vast array of sites just waiting for you to visit including  Jack Hobbs (Manager Auckland Botanical Gardens), Sarah the Gardener (as Seen in Kiwi Gardener Magazine), Neil and Gaynor Hamill’s amazing Vedic Park, and Angrason Gardens Cycad and Palm Paradise.

Surf Life Saving Kariaotahi are holding the Garden Ramble fundraising event to raise funds for new surf clubrooms.  We encourage you to join us for this weekend's extravaganza – we have gardens of all sizes and maturity.  From cottage gardens, to park-like surrounds, pretty suburban gardens, a tropical oasis, a trip down memory lane in one garden, a garden not unlike a botanical garden, a garden where you feel you have been transported to India, gardens decorated for Christmas to get you in the festive spirit, and a garden complete with a “Ha-Ha”, there is something for everyone.  Join our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/kariaotahi/ and keep up to date with the weekly Garden Features that are being posted leading up to the Ramble.
