Event Details

On Saturday 3rd December the rose garden will be in full bloom and the sun will be shining – a perfect recipe to spend your afternoon with gardening and food celebrity, Lynda Hallinan – former NZ Gardener editor, author, broadcaster, amateur homebrewer, pickler, preserver, part-time farmer, occasional farmers’ market stallholder and mad-keen gardener. Lynda has spent half her life writing and talking about her passion for plants.

Here’s the programme – starting at 1.30pm take your seats in the marquee at the Trevor Griffiths Rose Garden.

Workshop 1 Romantic roses & cottage companions
Lynda shares her love affair with roses, old-fashioned perennials and cottage annuals that are guaranteed to steal your heart and fill your home with flowers. In this entertaining and informative workshop Lynda reveals the plants she’d never go without, hints and tips for making more from less, and why gardening in harmony with nature is good for you.

Following the first workshop we have a break to enjoy an indulgent afternoon tea in high tea style from Gâterie of Timaru.

Workshop 2 Eat, Drink & Feel Rosy
Looking for festive inspiration for Christmas gifts from the garden? Lynda will share easy, delicious, decorative and delightful ideas for using edible flowers, nostalgic herbs and seasonal blooms to fill your Santa sacks. From homemade preserves to mini wreaths, have fun making and creating in this practical workshop.

The afternoon will finish around 5.00pm enough time for an early evening stroll among the roses in the gardens. Lynda’s workshops will leave you feeling inspired, more knowledgeable, and no doubt keen to reinvent your garden as a space!
Go on, you deserve it.

BOOKINGS for the Harvest Flavours afternoon with Lynda Hallinan are essential and numbers limited. $40 per person – this includes both workshops and the sumptuous afternoon tea from Gâterie.
