List a garden

Associates of The New Zealand Gardens Trust own or manage gardens that are open to the public and having been assessed by the Assessors of the Trust, meet the required standard of consistently exhibiting creatively inspired design, planting expertise and good maintenance. Listing your garden and becoming an Associate entitles you to a range of benefits including conference attendance, website listing and newsletters. You can also list any garden events, workshops or walks that are happening on the event section of the website. New gardens are assessed annually with registrations closing at the end of July. Once listed, gardens are assessed every three years. Please complete your garden details below and we will be in touch with you.

Friends membership

This category of membership provides an opportunity for those who do not have a garden open to the public to support the New Zealand Gardens Trust and enjoy the Trust's activities. Friends are welcome to attend any conferences, workshops or other events and also receive the New Zealand Gardens Trust quarterly newsletters which are distributed electronically.

NZGT Founding Gardens

NZGT Gardens Trust was established in 2003 through the generosity of our ‘Founding Gardens’. These Founding Gardens each donated NZ$2000, which enabled us to undertake our first round of garden assessments, to commission a website, and to hold our inaugural seminar.

For this NZGT and gardening fraternity is indebted. Click here to view the list of our Founding Gardens .
