Auckland Garden DesignFest
The Auckland Garden DesignFest celebrates some of the most inspiring gardens our city has to offer, and showcases New Zealand's amazing design talent. It gives visitors a rare opportunity to tour through up to 20 private gardens across Auckland, never before open to the public, and to see the work of some of NZ’s leading garden professionals. Explore the grounds, talk with the designers about their work, and take home handy hints to get your own garden looking great for summer.

🌸 We hope you enjoyed exploring some of the most beautiful and expertly designed gardens in Auckland at the 2024 Auckland Garden DesignFest, and left feeling inspired. And in the process, we’ve raised vital funds for some incredible charities: Garden to Table, Oke, YouthLine, Dove Hospice & Wellness, and Rotary Club of Newmarket Charitable Trust.
🌿 A massive thank you to the homeowners and designers who generously opened their gardens to the public. We know the effort it takes to prepare these gardens for the event, and we truly appreciate all the hard work. Another big thank you to everyone who came out to visit the gardens and to the volunteers who helped bring the festival to life. This event wouldn’t have been possible without your support. Last but not least, our fabulous supportive sponsors. We are immensely grateful for you all - thank you! https://www.gardendesignfest.co.nz/sponsors
