Plimmerton Rotary Garden Tour 2025
Come along and enjoy the delights of Spring with a stroll around some of our best local gardens in and around Plimmerton , Paremata and Whitby.
The Plimmerton Rotary club is hosting a garden trail to raise funds for cancer research and Youth life skills Education
The gardens are varied, from bijou suburban hideaways to a lifestyle block, and from an 1860s cottage garden to a modern design gem. They are testaments to the care and creativity of their owners.

Included is the iconic Heritage Rose Garden beside St Alban’s church in Pauatahanui, which features legacy and modern rose varieties around the burial ground.
Gardeners will be inspired by the experience – it will be an unforgettable day out.
The Trail this year will be held on Saturday 1st November and Sunday 2nd November between 9.30 am and 4.30 pm each day.
Help raise funds for two great organizations, the Gillies McIndoe Foundation and the North Wellington Life Education Trust
