NZ Gardener VIP Tours - Riverlea Gardens

NZ Gardener is excited to be partnering with the highly anticipated Taranaki Garden Festival to launch the first ever NZ Gardener VIP Tours!

Join editor Jo McCarroll this spring as she hosts a series of bespoke tours as part of the festival’s jam-packed 10-day programme - a celebration of New Zealand’s biggest collection of glorious gardens, art and events.

Along with the garden owners themselves, this garden tour will explore the large garden property flows around a relocated and restored 120-year-old villa. Since 2003, Ann and Vince have poured their talents and passion into creating Riverlea. They have engaged an array of ideas, including a perennial border, woodland garden and maple walk. The boardwalk to the river leads to secluded seating surrounded by rimu, kauri, nikau and other natives.

Garden enthusiasts can also look forward to exclusive one-on-one time with Jo and have the opportunity to ask all those burning questions, or hear first-hand expert advice on garden tips and tricks that they love to read about in their favourite gardening magazine.

The tours will run across four days, with two tour-sessions per garden. Following each tour, the intimate group will enjoy some light refreshments in a tea party setting, as well as receive a complimentary goody bag filled with garden essentials.
