2026 Programme
Garden Life November
Tuesday 3rd 6pm & Wednesday 4th 1pm
Main Speaker: Jill and Richard Simpson, Fisherman's Bay Garden
We are thrilled to welcome the Simpsons as our November Garden Life speakers. Fisherman's Bay Garden is a haven in the rugged and dramatic landscape of the Banks Peninsula coastline. The structure and texture of New Zealand native plants combined with a diverse array of non-native plants are used to create a truly New Zealand ambience.
Mini Speaker: Dawn Mundt – Wood & Wire Design
Meet local maker Dawn Mundt and discover the story behind Wood & Wire Design.
Hear how Dawn turns simple materials into beautifully crafted, unique garden supports, and get a glimpse into the inspiration, creativity and hands-on process behind her work.
Monthly Tips & Tasks
Julian Odering from Oderings Garden Centres joins us for a monthly garden update, sharing plenty of practical advice on what to do in the garden each month — from ants to asparagus and everything in between!
Gardeners' Corner
We encourage everyone attending Garden Life to bring along a few treasures from their own garden to share. Whether it's flowers, foliage, produce or something seasonal, it's a wonderful way to celebrate what's growing in our gardens right now.
