Garden Paradise
Innovation and abundance are the hallmarks of Marlborough’s gardens, as diverse as the region’s nurturing microclimate; sweeping homestead grounds in the high country; an extravaganza of rhododendrons or roses in the Sounds;native gardens; a romantic villa garden in town.
A visual feast awaits all year. November’s annual Hunter’s Garden Marlborough Festival offers myriad tours and ideas, with workshops by experts from around the world, and a garden market amidst the flowerbeds in Blenheim’s Seymour Square.
