Davison inherited over four hectares of native tree-laden land from her mother-in-law, Brownie, when she joined her Canterbury farming family.
The Davisons and two of their neighbouring friends will be opening their impressive gardens to visitors over Anzac weekend for the inaugural Autumn with Art in the Gardens.
Lou will be hosting Amberley artist Nell McKellow at Wynyard, as well as a gin-making workshop led by her brother, the founder of Lighthouse gin, and a catered lunch among the trees.
Within a 3-kilometre radius, attendees can also explore the Willows garden, home to screen print artist Jane McIntosh, and Hemingford garden, a 955ha sheep and cattle farm designed by the romantic Cecil Wood in 1952, owned by artist Lissa Holland.
Full details and tickets are available here.

What a great morning we had at the Rangiora Sunday Market. It was a nippy start for the stall holders setting up in the Blake St car park, but the sun shone on a windless day. We enjoyed having people from all over NZ browsing and buying from our stall today. Hope the other stall holders did well … View moreWhat a great morning we had at the Rangiora Sunday Market. It was a nippy start for the stall holders setting up in the Blake St car park, but the sun shone on a windless day. We enjoyed having people from all over NZ browsing and buying from our stall today. Hope the other stall holders did well too. We still have funds to come in but the Committee is pleased with the result so far.
Special thanks to Arthur Linnell of the North Canterbury Model Railway Club for his generosity to us in his role as market manager. The club hosts the market as a fundraiser and it was good to see young families visiting the working models in the club rooms next to the car park.

Thank you for those that I find in the collection plate as well as the recent donations of saleable goods from members of the community.

Ivan Donaldson first planted a small vineyard in Canterbury soil in the seventies as a hobby.
The vineyard was one of the first ones to be planted in the region and quickly turned into a love of wine for the former neurologist, who sought to pursue winemaking as a full-time career.
This year, the family celebrates three decades since Ivan first released a Pegasus Bay vintage from his garage, with the responsibility now resting on eldest son and winemaker Mat Donaldson, who has since produced the next 27 of the family’s 29 vintage wines.
The winery now exports to more than 25 countries.
