Swipe to see two of the properties open to view in this year’s tour.
This Barrys Bay Property will be open to view the Garden
Having purchased this property six years ago, the owners have established this garden utilising it’s natural features. There is a woodland garden with a large variety of shade loving plants under a canopy of mature kanuka trees. Meandering paths weave their way through a variety of settings: native bush, under-planted woodlands, cut flower gardens and a substantial contoured potager garden. This is a working property that aims to provide the owners and visitors with an ever-changing vista that delights the eye and palate.
Garden seedlings and garden art and structures will be available for sale.
This Akaroa property will be open to view the Garden
This is a small, stylish, architectural garden. Over 30 years it has been developed into a series of contrasting spaces, using hedges, trellising, gravel paths and pots.
Of particular note is the intimate courtyard garden at the back of the house, built around a veranda that runs the length of the house. A pretty summerhouse is clad in Marseille tiles and a voluptuous rambling rose, Souvenir de Madame Leonie Viennot.
The garden is planted with roses, hydrangeas, hostas, and some special trees including a clerodendrum, a cornus controversa that gives shade to the woodland garden, and a magnificent Mt Fuji flowering cherry.
