GARDEN LIGHTS! TONIGHT!

Judy from Otaki District

MEADOWCROFT GARDENS 722 Otaki Gorge Road Hautere TODAY - 6th APRIL from 7.30pm

Enjoy a night stroll among the lights in the parklike setting of Meadowcroft Gardens, amidst the lights.
Very popular with daylight tours, the garden is usually only opened at night to friends and family. Discreet lighting brings the garden alive after dark and provides a rare opportunity to see another side of this unique garden.
Proceeds will help to fund the Earthquake Strengthening of Te Horo Hall.

The garden will be open between 7:30 - 10pm. $15pp and $5 for children (Cash only please). Raffle tickets will also be on sale - 1st prize is $1000 of groceries generously donated by NW Otaki.

Due to water features and reduced lighting this garden walk is not suitable for young children. Off road parking will be available.

**an opportunity not to be missed in this special garden **

BIG THANKYOU and CONGRATULATIONS to Neil and Avis for making their garden available to all.

Cameron House (0896-1) the view from the front:

Paul from Levin

Last week I referred to this house as owned originally by a Capt. Cameron. However, when Joanna Baylis described the decades of personal experiences in the house, I've left the Captain's name out of the title. Joanna wrote:
"This is my grandparents old house from Wanganui. It was built at Wicksteed St and they lived there for decades. We spent many years visiting for holidays, weekends and Christmas. Their name was Cameron and they were school teachers. When they sold, it was purchased for a commercial office and called Cameron House. Then years later it was relocated. Not sure who Captain Cameron is but I'm sure my grandfather would be chuffed and amused. This is a beautiful old home."

Thank you Joanna!
