The Open Gardens of Timaru

Behind walls and hedges or down long driveways lie many well-loved Timaru district gardens.


It’s truly one of life’s pleasures - spending an afternoon strolling around gorgeous private gardens exclusively open for the Festival.  Nothing gets the design ideas flowing like a walk through an expressive garden. Some are personal masterpieces and others are continuous life-long love affairs. They all manifest the passion of their gardeners and will help ignite your passion and inspiration for your own garden haven.


 In 2011, there’s something to appeal to everyone and following on the success of last year, all gardens will feature displays of work by local artists and craftspeople.
