Over a decade ago, this major fundraiser for the Greenhithe Kindergarten was started. It has gone from strength to strength and this year promises to be bigger and better than ever!

The money raised ensures the Kindergarten upkeep, helps purchase new equipment for the children and the latest teaching tools available to our staff.

There is an amazing following each year as well as having regular visitors who come to the tour from as far away as Wellington and Whangarei.

View a wonderful selection of local gardens with craft stalls where you could purchase artwork, plants, shrubs, jewellery, raffles and stop to have a bite to eat.

So bring the family, friends and join in what promises to be a fun day!

When

Sunday 16^th November 2008 from 10:00am to 4:00pm.

The Garden Tour will go ahead rain or shine!

Where

The gardens are all within the Greenhithe area. A number of the gardens are close to each other or linked by paths so you can combine car travel with walking.

The Greenhithe Kindergarten will be the base of operations where tickets and information will be available on the day. You can also view the raffle prizes there and grab a bite to eat or refreshments.
