Christchurch Garden Tour
Christchurch is often called "The Garden City" and has Spring and Summer garden competitions twice a year in late October and January. These times of year are absolutely the best time to view however from mid August when the daffodils start to appear till mid April with Autumn colours there is always something to enjoy. I am a keen vegetable gardener and have been guiding guests on Garden tours for over 30 years now. My basic tour is 4 hours and usually visits 2 private gardens and gives you a chance to meet the people who create these amazing gardens as well as visit the most attractive local park depending on the season. I can prepare lunch in my home for you or if you would prefer can cook together and enjoy in my garden or sunroom. There are also some very grand country gardens within an hour s drive of the city and can incorporate those in to the tour if you wish.
