Every year, Taranaki Fringe Garden Festival garden members prepare and open up their beautiful gardens to excite and enchant their many visitors from Taranaki, New Zealand and around the world.

While you're touring the gorgeous gardens of Taranaki, why not also visit historic Hurworth Cottage for a guided tour? Hurworth Cottage which was built in 1855 by Harry Atkinson, future Premier of Aotearoa New Zealand. Hear stories of Taranaki's past, enjoy the small garden with its views towards the coast and maunga - and don't miss the 1860s charcoal graffiti!

Bookings for tours are essential.

If a tour isn't your thing, you can also drop by and visit the garden only during opening hours ($2 recommended koha).

This event is proudly presented by Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga.
