Rich volcanic soil and a temperate climate make Taranaki a gardener's paradise and during the Rhododendron Festival 66 public and private gardens, nurseries and parks will be on show.
The province is home to Pukeiti, a nationally significant garden boasting thousands of rhododendron varieties in a rainforest environment in the foothills of Mt Taranaki.
Garden trails, celebrity speakers and guided walks feature in the festival, which runs October 24 to November 2.
