Garden lovers are in for a treat with the beautiful greenspaces at "Beechwood" in Pyes Pa, home to its clever creators, Jenny and John Smith.
"Bring a picnic and settle into our large peaceful garden, surrounded by well-established native and exotic trees, meandering pathways, ferneries, mixed borders, and an abundance of birdlife. Explore the tracks through our QEII covenanted native bush, and visit our small vineyard and underground wine cellar."
I don't think we need to be asked twice 😍 See you there - 14th-17th November!

Love this garden! Trees galore and lots of paths, places and plants to discover 🌱 It is in an incredible setting too surrounded by beautiful native bush. It is tranquil, and a labour of love, a must see. 🌱🌿🌸

Nicola Welten has a love of bold colours & paints joyful, semi-abstract, floral and landscape paintings from her home studio. She starts her work with abstract marks and sweeps of colour and finds the intention in the work as it unfolds. She unapologetically uses a lot of fluorescent and transparent colours and paints quickly to retain the energy in the work. Nicola is a regular exhibitor at the NZ Art Show in Wellington.
After exhibiting in gardens in the last two festivals, Nicola is really excited to share her own new home based studio and gallery with the festival visitors. It is a light, airy space designed to show off her colourful, uplifting work. ❤
You can enjoy more of Nicola's artworks at www.nicolaweltenart.com

Is it a fruit or is it a veggie...or does it even matter when you have too many of them all at once?! 😂 What if you could make an incredibly tasty chutney that goes with everything? Look no further than this recipe to create a delicious Tomato Kasundi.
If you get hooked on making this and run out of fresh produce, no problem. Simply use canned tomatoes.

1kg fresh tomatoes (whole) or 2 x tins canned tomato
1 x packet tomato paste 140gms
2 x medium to large onions diced
6 x Tbsp garlic grated (about 1 & 1/2 heads)
6 x Tbsp grated fresh ginger
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1 1/4 cup brown soft sugar
2 x Tbsp mild curry power
2 x Tbsp garam marsala
1 x Tbsp ground turmeric
1 x Tbsp ground cumin
1 x Tbsp ground coriander
1 x Tbsp ground chili or fresh chili
2 x Tbsp salt
2 x Tbsp black mustard seeds
1/2 cup of oil of your choice.

In 1/2 cup of oil sauté the onions, garlic, ginger until soft, then add all spices and sugar and cook for 5min on a medium to high heat.
Add cider vinegar and scrape the pot bottom clean.
Add tomatoes and tomato paste.
Cook on low heat with a lid on for 1/2hr.

Use a blender to make smooth. Add more salt or sugar or vinegar to taste. Bottle and store or keep in the fridge. Enjoy with everything!

The garden of Di and Paul Pinkerton is sure to delight a wide range of visitors as it has so much to offer! "Redwood Acres" in Ohauiti is new to the BOP Garden and Art Festival Trail, and is a diverse garden/nursery with a range of plants; predominantly tropical. Di and Paul said of being part of this year's festival "we appreciate the opportunity to network with like minded people and showcase our garden." ❤
There are palms, bromeliads, cycads, succulents, fruit trees, vegetable beds and the nursery is home to a significant collection of bromeliads!
Dispersed throughout the gardens is a range of complimentary farm art, contemporary artworks and statues.
Engine enthusiasts are also taken care of as there will be a collection of stationary engines on display, and some will be running! If it sounds like there's a lot of awesome things to see, you'd be right 😎
