February 2025
Welcome to our February newsletter!
Start thinking ahead to the 2025 Hurunui Garden Festival
Have you put the 2025 dates in your diary? We are very excited to be on show again for you from Thursday 30th October through to Sunday 2nd November. The line up of properties will be announced by the beginning of June with early bird ticket sales starting on the 1st of July. We look forward to seeing you again then!
Make the most of the time between now and July by getting your friends/group organised, booking your accommodation and sorting travel. There are many attractions in and around the Hurunui District which you can add in amongst the gardens for variety.
Congratulations Isla!
We are thrilled to announce the recipient of the 2024 Hurunui Garden Festival Inc. Scholarship is Isla Blomfield. Isla has just completed Year 13 at Amuri Area School and is heading to Lincoln University next year where she will study a Bachelor in Commerce majoring in Agriculture. We wish Isla the very best and look forward to hearing how she progresses.
