BEAUTY: The gardens at Assisi, near Gladstone - one of 18 private gardens open for the Wairarapa Garden Tour next month.
Pukaha Mount Bruce says next month's annual Wairarapa Garden Tour is set to be bigger than ever.
The tour, at $40 per person, gains access to 18 privately-owned gardens in and around Masterton and Carterton on November 9 and 10.
The event is a fundraiser for Pukaha Mt Bruce, who
need to raise $160,000 a year to maintain their level of predator control and keep their kiwi and wildlife safe. The 940 hectare reserve is not fenced and relies on extensive trapping and volunteer hours to protect wildlife.
Tickets are available from five Westpac branches in and around the lower North Island, Wairarapa iSites, Adorne gift shop in Greytown and from Pukaha Mount Bruce itself. Tickets, and info about the tour: www.wairarapagardentour.co.nz.
