1 WELCOME From the Hurunui Mayor, Winton Dalley

The Hurunui Garden Festival, now in its second year offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience many of the finest private gardens in Hurunui. After a highly successful launch last year, the Garden Festival is set to become Hurunui's annual Premier, Flagship Event. A number of new gardens have been added to this year's festival, including some located in stunning, relatively remote locations where the awesome power of nature will stun you. You will also be delighted by new and innovative attractions and activities in several of the gardens, designed to enhance the enjoyment of your visit. This Festival is a credit to the dedicated and inspirational organising committee and to our dedicated Garden Owners. I trust that you will enjoy this year's Garden Festival, as much as Jean and I enjoyed last year's inaugural Event, and that you will find the experience of exploring our districts garden relaxing, rewarding, and inspiring.

Sheltered serenity A reliable supply of water from gravity-fed springs has made the garden at Lindfield flourish. The constant flow of water has enabled a large pond to be a feature of the garden, sheltered from North Canterbury's nor'west winds by pine shelterbelts. With the problems of water and shelter resolved the garden was developed in keeping with the meless elegance of the 1916 homestead and has a reassuring serenity. You can imagine the decades of family gatherings, games on the lawn, and drinks on the veranda. Around the gentle contours of the lawns you'll see a small number of specimen trees such as an elm, Wellingtonia and oaks, complemented with naves. Flowering borders will catch your eye with over 150 roses of hybrid-tea and floribunda variees providing colour and contrast during the warmer months.

Within five minutes walk of the Thermal Pools, Highgate Garden consists of several disnct areas. The front garden presents you with a classical garden style of box hedging, cherry trees and standard iceberg roses leading to the front door. The formality connues through a vegetable garden to the side of the house. You'll discover the rear garden has lawns surrounded by densely planted perennials against a backdrop of mature trees, such as conifers, maples, magnolias and camellias forming a woodland area. Amongst the planng you'll see dogwood trees with their pink and white blossoms, and raries such as the paperbark Acers. Extensive paved areas provide you places to sit and enjoy the serenity of the garden. Thirty years of composng has successfully turned a poorly drained clay backyard into a tranquil, lush garden retreat in the centre of the town.

Garden for high-flyers You know when your garden planng is successful, and that's when no one, including the birds want to leave. While the Geen Garden is just 13 years old, thoughul planng of trees that offer a habitat and food source for birds has already paid off, with korimako (bellbird), tūi and kererū (wood pigeon) all regular visitors. Last year a pair of korimako raised two fledgings in the garden. Set against a backdrop of mountains, you'll noce the garden brings together formal and informal design ideas, planted with a range of exoc, nave, flowering and foliage plants to give year round colour and texture. You'll see delighul combinaons of conifers and kowhai, piosporums and maples, rhododendrons and flax, layered at the borders to give depth to the garden. The use of pots, tubs and garden art interspersed throughout the garden complements the planng, and provides added appeal for human visitors as well as the birds.

Halfway up the hill Rockford Garden looks as though it's been carved from the hillside – and in a sense it has been. Excavang the site to build the house unearthed huge quanes of rocks, which have been used creang the walls that give shape and form to the garden. The excavaon even created flat lawns, so unexpected on a hillside, and a great place for you to sit and admire the uninterrupted views. From the garden you'll see Mt Grey to the southwest, the Deans Range to the west and Mt Lyford in the north. The hills cradle the vineyards that spread below you through the Waipara valley. Naves have been chosen to complement the natural texture of the rock walls and they're thriving. You'll see mulple planngs of ngaio, southern rata and surprisingly even pohutukawa, grown from ny seedlings. The sunny, hillside microclimate is supporng the growth of a garden that's barely five years old and is already flourishing. It's a great seng for a standout view.

Here you'll see familiar and rare naves in their own display areas, used as shelterbelts, around waterways and ponds, and blended with exocs. In the toughest of condions, with heavy wet soils in winter, hard frosts, drought and winds from all direcons you'll admire how these naves are thriving and be inspired to make Hurunui nave plants a feature of your garden.

Garden on the edge of the world Clinging precariously to the hillside 100 metres above the Pacific Ocean, the garden at Cathedral Cliffs rewards you with spectacular sea views. The 2-hectare garden is a showcase of rhododendrons including rare unnamed variees bred by the previous owner Murray Elliot. It's a rewarding challenge for rhododendron enthusiasts to see if they can name all the species! Though created just 25 years ago, the frost-free microclimate has enabled rhododendrons to grow to 7-8 metres tall. A variety of sun loving plants including succulents, agaves and proteas flourish, along with citrus fruits such as oranges and lemons and even an avocado. Roses are sprinkled throughout the garden, flowering almost year round. Sensible shoes are a praccal choice for you to explore the garden, as it's steep in some places. Children will need supervising around the ponds. Fortunately you can enjoy the views over the garden and ocean from a seat on the veranda surrounding the house. Soaking up the view it's easy to imagine you're in an exoc far-away locaon! www.cathedralcliffs.co.nz T

Woodchester Station - Walls and Waterfalls Tour 'Woodchester Station', a high country farm near the town of Waiau, shot to fame when the 2016 Kaikoura earthquakes created the spectacular 'Wall of Waiau' and caused a landslide that created the kilometre-long 'Lake Rebekah'. Pictures were seen on television and online in New Zealand and the world. By special arrangement with the Gardiner-Kelly family, to celebrate a century of continuous family ownership, the Hurunui Garden Festival is delighted to offer visitors a rare opportunity to visit 'Woodchester Station' on a specially guided tour. Station owner Rebekah Kelly guides visitors to the 'Wall of Waiau' and to 'Lake Rebekah' explaining the massive forces that tore apart her family farm. Her grandmother spent half a century creating a hillside garden of over 100 rhododendrons. Lunch is served in the garden, where visitors are welcome to sit in the shade or climb to the pinetum at the top of the hillside with views to the Kaikoura mountains. There is one tour only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday limited to a maximum of 40 visitors. The tour costs $95 per person, and includes lunch and transport by bus departing daily from iSITE Hanmer Springs at 9am and Waiau (outside the Memorial Hall) at 10am.
