If you’re an avid gardener, or simply enjoy the tranquil beauty of well-tended grounds, you’ll be impressed by the range of gardens and garden tours in New Zealand.

Our temperate climate, the country’s north-to-south alignment and an amazing range of altitudes means that subtropical and sub-alpine species are able to thrive within a couple of hours drive of each other.

City garden tours visit informative botanic gardens, private landscapes and lush native forests. The rural garden tours in Eastland, Manawatu/Wanganui, Wairarapa and Canterbury are often hosted by residents of stately historic homesteads. Roses, rhododendrons and camellias thrive in New Zealand and are featured in many of the public gardens.

The famous Ellerslie International Flower Show is held in Christchurch every March, also Christchurch’s Floral Festival will take place in February each year. If you visit New Zealand in December, look for our native pohutukawa tree in bloom - its crimson flowers are fabulously festive.
