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.
