2024 Pūkaha Wairarapa Garden Tour

Spend a weekend exploring beautiful gardens in the South Wairarapa. This two-day self-drive garden tour is a rare chance to visit private gardens opening to support Pūkaha's annual fundraiser - the Pūkaha Wairarapa Garden Tour. This year celebrates 14 years of this much-loved event. Come and celebrate a full weekend away, visiting the stunning private gardens of Greytown, Featherston, Martinborough and Gladstone at your leisure and being delighted with our local arts and crafts at the Market Fair.

Sure to delight gardeners of all ages, we’re excited to bring you some firm favourites alongside plenty of newcomers opening to the tour for the first time.

The 2024 tour showcases gardens in and around the South Wairarapa. The lineup includes new contemporary designs - come on the journey with us and watch these gardens go from cleverly thought out designs to full mature gardens, established mature gardens, small landholdings to large country estates. Choose from a diverse selection and take inspiration from ordinary people who have overcome common gardening challenges to create beautiful outdoor spaces. The ability to self-drive means you can pick and choose which gardens you visit when it suits you. Watch our social media and website as gardens are revealed before the tour.

With loads of variety, there's something to suit gardeners of all ages. A ticket gets you entry into 14 private gardens - as well as access to our market fair in a stunning expansive estate garden.
