David and Nina Henderson’s Mount Maunganui garden is an oasis hidden amongst the hustle and bustle of suburban life. Here the focus is on sustainability, shelter for native birds and insects and producing food for the whole family. The garden offers a variety of tropical plants, native and fruit trees, vegetable gardens and a huge Pohutukawa tree to sit under on long hot summer days. All of this is complemented with a large bright mural on the garden wall. David will be showcasing his artworks in the garden.

"Plant struck" in Te Puna is new to the festival and is sure to delight! If you are looking for a garden filled with potted colour, Clivias, Bromeliads and dwarf ornamental trees then look no further. Plant Struck is for small plant enthusiasts. Beautiful and unusual plants adorn this garden with all container plants identifiable by their botanical names. It is situated on a mainly flat residential section which gradually slopes down to the edge of Tauranga Harbour ❤

Chris Pointon creates wooden sculptures specifically to enhance the garden, terrace, patio or outdoor spaces. Each is individually crafted from century-old totara strainers and fenceposts, jarrah and macrocarpa sleepers, or native timber driftwood from East Coast beaches. He makes a range of human and guardian figures, and stylised native bird forms.
See Chris's amazing artworks up close this November as part of the Garden and Art Trail ❤

At I Te Tāhā Pārī you can see forever on a clear day, with its 360-degree vista. The view closer at hand is also one to enjoy with the upper level of the garden bordered by dense trees and hydrangea. Below this, paths lead the way amongst sunny banks of layered planting including shady camellia bowers. Formal elements feature near the pool and home. Green fingered owners Stephen Keeves & Phillipa Woodward say the garden has been redesigned and replanted over 16 years and features a mix of both native and exotic mass plantings. Put this gem of a garden on your must see list ❤
