Sweetpea Garden Display – Plants for Sale - Cut Flowers - Vintage Garden Tools – Food – Coffee – Activities – Historic Pressed Plant Exhibition and Demonstration
The orchard garden will be in full bloom with a specially planted display of sweet peas, and a wide range of stallholders will be on site selling perennials, sweet peas, shrubs, climbers, grasses, heritage roses, natives, cut flowers, as well as vintage garden tools, flowerpots, and much more. Members of the botany team from Auckland Museum will be demonstrating how you can press your own plants.

Get creative and bring along a wonky vegetable creature, or make one on the day, for the 'Wonky Vegetable Creature Competition'.
