Friends Fundraising Open Garden 2025
Join the Friends of the Arts Centre for a special visit to a peaceful and wonderful 5* Garden of National Significance.
Considered one of New Zealand's finest gardens, Frensham is a beautiful, relaxed country garden that has been thirty-three years in the making. Much thought has gone into the placement of colour, the short and long-distance views, and the filtering of light which is created by judicious pruning.
The garden has been planned with year-round interest in mind. There is a serious plant collection which is continually being added to, and subtle changes over time in of all existing areas.
The owner will be available for questions throughout the event, and can provide information about work in the garden, gardening tips and botanical information. Tours of the garden will be self-guided.
Plants and books are available for sale by the owner, as well as a stall of Christmas gifts from The Arts Centre. There will be musical interludes, and light refreshments available to purchase.
