New Plymouth to Hawera - return
All aboard – join us for a day trip on the refurbished heritage diesel train from New Plymouth to Hāwera, where you'll be taken by coach to visit four gorgeous gardens – the Sullivan Garden, Tairoa Lodge for lunch, and the Sanderson and Oakley Gardens. This wonderful day excursion will be hosted by our very experienced local gardening expert Chris Paul.
Join NZ Gardener editor Jo McCarroll for bubbles, canapes and a wildly engaging romp through the magazine's archive. With the much-loved gardening magazine celebrating 80 years in print, Jo will share the best practical tips and tricks gleaned from the back issues, as well as reflect on New Zealand's horticultural history: from the rise and fall in popularity of certain plants, our changing attitudes to native flora, biosecurity and pesticides, and more.
Our Centuria Taranaki Garden Festival Hub has a new home in the heart of the Plymouth International Hotel. Located between New Plymouth’s two major one-way systems, with free parking on site, the hotel is an ideal base for the hubbub of the Hub!
Open 8.30am–11.30am and 3.00pm - 6.00pm (during the festival)
