Friend's Bush under the stars

After a successful event in early 2024 the Spirit of Napier Lions Club are excited to once again welcome you to Friends Bush and the wonderful garden of Colin Harvey-James.

A rare opportunity to enter the private garden world of this well-known Hawke's Bay designer. Colin's property has featured in New Zealand House & Garden magazine, New Zealand Gardener magazine, Living Hawkes Bay Magazine and on TV's Maggies Garden World.

Now it is your turn to experience the floral artworks, take in the garden theatre and the stunning "Friends Bush" not normally accessible by the public, this time all by twilight.

Included with your ticket is the guided tour of the garden and Friend's Bush, a glass of bubbles, a light supper and a goodie bag to take home.

This event is a fundraiser for the Rowan Apartments project. Your support will help build homes for younger adults living with complex physical disabilities in Hawke’s Bay. 

* Please note this event is for ADULTS ONLY and due to access, visibility and uneven ground it is not accessible by wheelchair or walker.
