Meet Alf & Cherie 🌿💚
Two of the wonderful gardeners taking part in this year’s Bay of Plenty Garden & Art Festival, showing that you definitely don’t need a huge section to create something beautiful.
Their garden is a brilliant example of making the most of a smaller space - thoughtful planting, clever use of every corner and plenty of inspiration to take home for your own garden. 🌸
This year’s Festival runs 19–22 November 2026, with around 80 beautiful gardens to explore and 100+ artists featured across Tauranga and the Western Bay of Plenty.
🎟️ Festival Passes are on sale now
🌿 One Day Pass — $55
🌸 Multi-Day Pass — $80
Grab yours in person from Palmers Bethlehem Bethlehem or online through Eventfinda.
Come along, meet the gardeners, explore some incredible spaces and get inspired for what you could create at home. 🌱✨
A huge thank you to our wonderful sponsor Bayleys Bay Of Plenty for helping make this year’s Festival possible. 💚
