There are some fantastic hidden gardens in Te Henga – this is your opportunity to tour some of the beautiful properties and gardens in the area. A guided tour can be booked at Matuku Link, or ramble your way around the other gardens with a map and explore. There is a real diversity of gardens – large and small, cottage and modern, exotic and native.

As you enjoy your day you will also be contributing to such a worthwhile cause. Refreshments are available at some sites, and plants are for sale too. See their garden pages find out what is on offer. All proceeds from sales will go to Hospice West Auckland.
