There was only one amazing garden for the 4th day of garden visiting for our Botanica World Discoveries Contrasts of New Zealand’s Gardens & Natural Wonders.We visited Lan Yuan Dunedin Chinese Garden and it felt like we had been momentarily transported into the heart of China. The garden has been so carefully and authentically recreated to represent a scholars garden. It was fascinating to learn all about the symbolism behind every feature and be lulled into a sense of calm and peace. It is a truly astonishing garden. Then we made the long journey to Te Anau, stopping at Gore for lunch. (I may have signed a few books at the Gore Paper Plus, so if you're local, go grab one!)Tonight I'm in bed early in Te Anau ready for a very early start in the morning. : o) ...

For the third day of garden visiting for our Botanica World Discoveries Contrasts of New Zealand’s Gardens & Natural Wonders Dunedin did not disappoint!It was a three garden day - starting with Dunedin Botanic Garden which is always a delight and first thing in the morning before there were footprints across the dewy lawn the early sun gave the garden an ethereal glow, making it all the more magnificent.Then it was off to Glenfalloch Garden to see the amazing array of Fuchsia including the largest and the smallest. It was sad to see the 1000 year old Matai had fallen down, but its magnificent size is all the more apparent when viewed horizontally!Finally it was the incredible Larnach Castle with its tales of love, success, loss and intrigue. And the garden is splendid as we were shown about by the fabulous Fiona - the head gardener. And to top it all off we indulged in a cheese roll... while you're in the South you have to do the Southern things! Sleep will come easy tonight! : o) ...

For the second day of garden visiting for our Botanica World Discoveries Contrasts of New Zealand’s Gardens & Natural Wonders we left Christchurch and covered a lot of ground to be finally tucked up in bed in Dunedin.Of course we made a few stops along the way to see some gardens. First up was Trott’s Garden where we were treated to a delish morning tea and a stroll around the beautiful gardens. My favourite part of the garden is the knot gardens. We stopped for lunch in Geraldine, and I took the opportunity to stroll along River Garden Walk. I discovered this hidden gem in the autumn so it was nice to see the rhododendrons blooming beside the river. The next stop was the Oamaru Public Gardens. It is always a delight to visit this garden, there is a fabulous depth of history in the garden reflected in the statues, fountains, trees and plantings. A long but enjoyable day, ending with a good nights sleep! : o) ...

The first day of garden visiting for our Botanica World Discoveries Contrasts of New Zealand’s Gardens & Natural Wonders was a big one with three amazing gardens. First up was the incredible Ohinetahi Garden where the vision of Sir Miles Warren lingers in a glorious garden with treasures at every turn. Next up was the delightful floriferous Frensham Garden with clever clusters of plants that work together so well. It is the kind of garden you never want to leave, it is so peaceful and tranquil.The last garden of the day was the absolutely brilliant Broadfield Garden with its ingenious use of New Zealand Natives and NZ bred varieties to create a unique garden like no other. It was a great start, but tomorrow will be a long day and so I will indeed sleep very well tonight! : o) ...

I was officially between tours today, taking a day off to relax and recoup before our next trip - but that didn't stop me from visiting just one more garden.Today I dragged poor Hubby the Un-Gardener - in the rain, to see an iconic kiwi garden in Christchurch - The Edmonds Factory Gardens - the one on the front of the famous Edmonds Cookbook! It may be a shadow of its former self, but there is still enough of a nod to what it once was to feel like we were on some kind of cultural pilgrimage to this historic garden. Official garden visiting resumes tomorrow, so I need to get a good night sleep! : o) ...
