Manawatū Garden Festival 2025

Take a moment to smell the roses this November with the Manawatū Garden Festival. Twenty gardens will open their gates for a lush week of wonder and delight. 

From gardens of national and international significance to the acres of rhododendrons you’ll find at Heritage Park, to the short trip to Italy that Villa Candotti will send you on and more... Journey down all the garden paths, and encounter gardens of all shapes, sizes, colours and styles.

Manawatū Garden Festival will be a joyful jaunt in the fresh spring air that you won’t want to miss.
