Spring Blooms and Festival Success – A Season to Celebrate!

What a whirlwind it’s been! This year’s festival was a resounding success, and we couldn't be more thrilled with how it turned out. The first few days were a frenzy—we were truly run off our feet—but as the week went on, we enjoyed a steady flow of visitors. It’s clear that we’re the go-to place for quality plants at great prices, and people love returning year after year to see what’s new and how we’ve grown.

🌱 Repeat Visitors & New Locals

It was heartwarming to see so many familiar faces, with many visitors coming back for a second look at our gardens. We also met a lot of new locals who, to our surprise, hadn’t discovered us before. While they were disappointed they hadn’t found us sooner, we’re delighted they’ve joined our growing community now!

🌴 Amelia’s Garden Tropics on Mangati

One of the standout attractions of the festival was Amelia’s Tropics on Mangati, a garden we designed and built that continues to captivate. Visitors marveled at its unique and stunning design, noting how it stands apart from traditional gardens. Amelia has truly made it her own, maintaining its charm while adding her own personal touch.

🌿 Shape Your Scape with Shane Parker

There was also great interest in Straightcurve garden edging, showcased by Shane Parker. Many visitors left inspired and ready to transform their outdoor spaces, with edging in hand and plans in mind. It’s always exciting to see the enthusiasm for creating beautiful, functional landscapes.

🌞 New Summer Hours

We’re excited to announce our new summer hours! We’re now open Tuesday to Saturday, 10 AM to 3 PM. Whether you’re looking for the perfect plants to brighten up your garden or just want to explore what’s new, we’d love to see you during our extended hours this season!

While the festival may be behind us, there’s no rest for the weary. We’ve dived straight into landscaping projects, catching up after the festival rush. However, we’re looking forward to a well-earned break at the end of the year to relax and enjoy our own garden.

As the holidays approach, it’s the perfect time to:
🌞 Spend time in the garden, making the most of the sunny weather.
🔥 Kick off those summer BBQs with friends and family.
🌱 Plan your next garden project (we’re always here to help with ideas!).

Thank you to everyone who visited during the festival and for your ongoing support. It’s your enthusiasm and kind words that keep us going—and growing!
