Folster Gardens

98 Millton Park Rd. Myross Bush, Invercargill Southland

Overview

Our magical garden is stunning at all times of the year and will touch all your senses. The entire 5 acres are garden From formal rose gardens, herbaceous borders, woodland gardens and extensive flower beds. Little rooms tucked away where you can sit and relax. Easy walking paths. Each season has its own delights. Beautiful and peaceful.

There are seats dotted throughout the garden for you to rest and take it all in.

The lush gardens offer a haven of peace and tranquility, and our guests are welcome to wander through them at their leisure.

Many native birds use our garden, including wood pigeons, tuis, bellbirds and a white-faced heron.

Experience the stillness of country living, where you can see beautiful sunsets and a spectacular night sky undisturbed by city lights on clear nights.

The Gardener

Your hosts are Lynne and Trev. Lynne does the weeding and Trev mows the lawns and keeps the hedges tidy. We both have an avid interest in gardening. Lynne is retired and now spends all her time in the garden. Trev is still working in conservation.

Trev makes art out of upcycled metal.
