WOW! The garden trail created a weekend beyond all expectations in Te Horo. 

It attracted more than 1200 visitors and raised over $50,000 for the hall.

Visitors came from throughout the lower North Island including Hawkes Bay, Manawatu, Wairarapa and Wellington, as well as the Kapiti Coast – and some from further afield. 

They heaped praise on the 14 gardens that opened their gates, which looked fabulous after months of work by their owners. They particularly loved the variety of styles, ranging from sandy creativity at the beach to formal and informal designs, flowers, trees, meadows, natives, lifestyle blocks, rocky sites, stone walls and water features up the Gorge.
