I was at her house years ago when I was teaching horticulture at Katikati college. It's amazing what she did with the space and gave me a banana tree that's now abundantly growing at our placeš
You're an inspiration Jizzy

Do you know we have a Festival hub: Bloom in the Bay?
This year its at Tauranga Racecourse and will be bursting with local art and so much more!
You can attend an inspiring workshop, learn a new creative skill (like decorating your Christmas table), or even make seed bombs at one of the hands-on demoās.
The Childrenās Garden is a fun interactive space in which your child can explore, create and have fun. Come along and discover everything a plant needs for growth, check out our worm farm and beehive (without the bees!). Paint a rock or make something to take home.
Catch up with friends and enjoy a glass of wine from the Mills Reef Bar while listening to the live music!
Entry if FREE for Festival Pass Holders or $5 for everyone at the gate, kids under 14 are free.

Looking forward to seeing all the gardens.

Then you'll want to add this Papamoa garden to your trail list!
šThis 30-year-old coastal garden is a treat for the senses. Thereās fragrance to stimulate, pops of colour and the sound of water to delight. Outdoor living spaces are encapsulated by plants. Its private trees, full of birds, cast precious shade over the lush green oasis. Edibles abound on fruit trees and in the organic vegetable garden.
