AUCKLAND BOTANIC & AYRLIES GARDENS 25 MARCH
We'll make an early start from Tauranga, stopping at Ngatea for morning tea en route, before visiting the Auckland Botanic Gardens, home to more than 10,000 plants from around the world.
We're lucky to be there while the "sculpture in the Gardens" is taking place at the venue. Twenty NZ artworks were chosen & will be scattered throughout the gardens.
Whitford is a country town and rural area south of Auckland at the start of the Pohutukawa Coast. It includes stunning verdant farmland and lush native forests.
Ayrlies Garden, Whitford, will be our second garden venue,& is a popular local attraction.
After visiting Ayrlies Gardens, we'll wend our way home.
COST: Door-to-door transport & garden entry: $95.00pp.

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
