Over the last 33 years Doreen and Mike have created a 3 acre garden from a blank canvas. This expansive and tranquil garden is set on their small farm in the Amuri Basin.

Longbush Cottage is A modern cottage garden located in beautiful central-Wairarapa, New Zealand. A sanctuary of serenity and a haven for all plant enthusiasts. Open by appointment, and hosting events throughout the year.

This former greywacke quarry has been transformed into an arboretum over the past 32 years. It provides the foundation for a unique art-in-nature concept throughout its 17.5 hectares where imaginations are inspired, creative exploration encouraged and mental and physical health nurtured. 

This magnificent country garden is nestled in the Waipara Valley wine region, 45 minutes north of Christchurch.  Set against a backdrop of an architecturally designed, working winery, tasting room and Deli. Expansive lawns sweep down to lakes and red Japanese bridges. Take time to wander, feed the eels or just sit and relax.
