My my. A full year has shot by since the last garden show in Waikanae. The 2015 Waikanae Lions super garden trail was held Saturday/Sunday 24/25 January, and this time we attended looking through different eyes – searching for details in planning, design and content similar to what we have tried out during the past year.
According to the show brochure, “A wonderful chance to enjoy some of Waikanae’s most treasured gardens.”

(Above): This hexagonal rotunda blends in very well with its surroundings.
(Above): Some gardens just have that extra bit, don’t they?
(Above): While others are less formal. Sometimes you tend to forget that you’re in a private home garden in the middle of town!
(Above): All kinds of pretties…
(Above): A view in one of the more stunning settings, a 2.5 acre property, very well laid-out, on the outskirts of town in Ngarara Road.
(Above): A superb garden with its very own “lake” pond.With a troop of pilgrim geese,too.
(Above):A well-kept potting shed.
(Above): Some people quite obviously put a lot of time and effort into their gardens, paying attention to all the details.Well done.
(Above): One of the homes had a small photographic exhibition detailing the transformation of their garden with “before” and “after” pictures.
