EVENT INFORMATION

After the huge success of our first “Up the Garden Path” event in 2021, we are excited to announce that this Fabulous Rangitikei Garden tour is back for 2024.

“Up the Garden Path” is a one-day self-guided garden tour showcasing a carefully curated selection of gardens in the northern Rangitikei area, taking place on SUNDAY 17th NOVEMBER 2024. 

Guaranteed to delight and inspire gardeners of ages and abilities, there is something for everyone to enjoy. This is a rare opportunity to visit a selection of Taihapes' finest gardens, the majority of which are rarely open to the general public for viewing.

Up the Garden Path is organised by a small committee made up of Parents who's children attend St Josephs school in Taihape. We volunteer our time and skills to support the school and all current and future students. 100% of all the money raised goes to the School for improvements that directly benefit the children.
