Do you love the Hamilton Gardens?

The Team from Momentum Waikato

Do you love the Hamilton Gardens and want to get involved in fun activities there and/or help make them even better?

The Friends of Hamilton Gardens are the heart and soul, and the hands-on realisation, of the community's support for this incredible place. They play a pivotal role fostering awareness and engagement, activating spaces, and securing funding for ongoing developments.

Each year the Friends host a range of events in the Gardens, including Matariki celebrations, a Scarecrow Festival, the Mansfield Garden Party, a Medieval Fair, plant sales, guest lectures and social gatherings.

Their fundraising efforts have supported most of the current Gardens, plus now the upcoming Medieval, Baroque and Pasifika Gardens, and they've backed school education kits and the publication of Peter Sergel’s book The Time Traveller’s Guide to Hamilton Gardens.

You can find out more and join the Friends of the Hamilton Gardens at the link below.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
