NIGHT LIGHTS GARDEN WALK

Judy from Otaki District

THIS WEEKEND!
Come along TONIGHT (Frid 11th) & TOMORROW NIGHT (SAT 12th) for a magical walk through one of the most unique garden experiences you'll see!

Meadowcroft Garden (722 Otaki Gorge Road) will be open to the public from 7pm – last entry 9.30pm. $15pp and $5 for children under 12 years. (Cash only please).

Off road parking will be available

After fantastic feedback in 2024, Neil and Avis MacInnes are again opening their special garden at night. Discreet lighting brings the garden alive after dark and provides an opportunity to see another side of this unique garden - and to also raise funds for the Te Horo Hall renovations. The garden is usually only opened at night to friends and family, so this is a special opportunity, not to be missed.

Please note:
Due to water features and reduced lighting the garden is not suitable for young children, and no pets are allowed. Special care is required as there are steps, sloping pathways and ponds. Every effort has been made by the owners to ensure the garden and car parks safety. Both are entered at visitors own risk.

THANKYOU NEIL & AVIS - and the Mansell family for providing parking in their paddock! 🤩🤩

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!
