Coatesville Garden Ramble 2025

For the first time since 2019, the Coatesville Garden Ramble is back. Come and see some of the best gardens in the county. This event which is organised by the Rotary Club of Albany, raises funds through the Albany Rotary Charitable Trust with funds raised going towards Pet Refuge, the Coatesville Pest Eradication Programme and other Albany Rotary Community Projects.

Visitors to the event will be able to indulge themselves with a day in the country, visiting and enjoying the peace and tranquility of six park-like gardens in beautiful Coatesville. One of the gardens has been recognized by the NZ Gardens Trust as being of International Significance.

The six gardens, which have been created by the love, care and hard work of keen gardeners, will all be at their best displaying late spring / early summer splendour and will surely delight both gardeners, or those who simply enjoy beautiful surroundings.

Tickets are $70.00+fees before 31 August and $80.00+fees from 1 September.

PLEASE NOTE: RAMBLERS MUST BE 12 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER
