The Copper Tree garden in Te Puke is a great example of what can be achieved over time, without buying expensive plants. There’s a wonderfully colourful floral display to enjoy as well as many other attention grabbers. The garden includes board walks, a fishpond, fruit trees, a large vegetable patch, and what may well be considered two of the stars of the property – a 90-year-old copper beach tree and a shaped avocado tree. Prepared to be inspired by this lush and vibrant garden! ❤

Mahana Cottage Garden is formal and enchanting. It has been formed around a range of ‘rooms’ to exude colour and tranquility. Precise and well considered details give spectators a platform for fun and creative experiences. Look out for the enclosed vegetable garden or take a moment to reflect by the pond this November 😍

Jeanette McCracken has been painting for over 20 years, specializing in landscapes, seascapes, and wildflower scapes using oil. Each piece of art narrates a story inspired by locations she has visited or holds dear. Jeanette takes breaks from oils by indulging in pastel drawings, particularly of faces or animals. She is also a keen photographer, using her sharp eye to create captivating works of art. Were excited to have Jeanette back sharing her latest artworks this November ❤

Hurrah!!! Can’t wait !😝

Travels to tropical destinations have inspired Jacqui van den Berg's casual tropical vibe garden.

A creatively designed vegetable garden, bananas, citrus, hibiscus and frangipani all add colour to her tropical garden.

"Artists at Palmers Bethlehem Series - "14th and 15th September"
Andrea Green is a self taught multi-disciplinary artist, often drawn to people as her subject matter. Whether drawing customers at The Portrait Studio in Tauranga’s Historic Village or working with glass & resin at her Oropi home studio, Andrea has a versatile practice as an emerging New Zealand artist, winning First Prize in the NZ Mural Awards in 2022.
We're delighted that Andrea's Art Studio will feature this year on the festival trail offering some stunning original paintings, prints and unique sculptural glassworks. Set in a rural country garden with lovely mature borders, vegetable plot and even the family’s pet goats!
Come and enjoy seeing Andrea's work up close this weekend at Palmers Bethlehem!

The Lyceum Ladies’ Art Group is a diverse group of watercolourists, acrylic and oil painters. A core of six are the founding members who have painted together for many years.

Enjoy the experience and talent of this amazing group this November ❤
