2015 Super Garden Trail

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.”
