Thank you for a wonderful Waiheke Garden Festival!

What a wonderful weekend! A huge thank you to everyone who came along to the 2026 Waiheke Garden Festival on 7-8 November, explored our beautiful gardens and supported the Jassy Dean Trust.

After a rather ominous weather forecast in the lead-up, we were delighted that the weather held off and we were able to enjoy a fantastic weekend celebrating beautiful gardens, our wonderful island community and the generosity of so many people.

A special congratulations to 55 Belle Terrace, Onetangi, which took out this year's People's Choice Award! Thank you to everyone who voted and to all our garden owners and gardeners who so generously shared their beautiful spaces with us.

We are incredibly grateful to our garden owners, volunteers, sponsors, musicians, stallholders and everyone who helped make the festival such a success. Most importantly, thank you to everyone who purchased a ticket, made a donation or supported the event in some way. Your generosity helps the Jassy Dean Trust support Waiheke children and families facing health challenges.

Thank you for being part of it. We look forward to seeing you again at the next Waiheke Garden Festival in 2028!

Garden 1

219 Delamore Drive, Oneroa
Part of the original Delamore Farm, this 1.5ha property was purchased by the owners in 1997. Manuka was planted to provide shelter for native trees as they became established.

Garden 2

5 Church Bay Road, Oneroa
What a surprise…from the entrance, you have no idea what lies ahead. The owners started planning the garden after the house and accommodation units were completed in 2013. The aim was to create a space where their guests could relax and enjoy privacy and birdsong.

Garden 3

64 Mako Street, Oneroa
The owners of this lovely property inherited an already established garden when they moved into their new home. It boasted a variety of mature, lush, tall palms along with established olive trees, giant bird of paradise stands and large China doll trees.

Garden 4

5A Coromandel Road, Oneroa
Sacred Blessing Sanctuary Garden is enjoyed by visitors from New Zealand and around the world. Set across two acres, this manicured garden features a large diversity of plant species with flowers and colour at the forefront of the garden team’s design.

Garden 5

54 Hauraki Road, Oneroa
A charming celebration of wonderful fresh home-grown food flourishing in a vibrant, self-sustaining space designed to nurture health and wellbeing.

Garden 6

43 Tiri View Road, Palm Beach
Over the past three years, the current owner has made considerable changes to what was an already established garden. Much of this has involved adding and subtracting a large number of plants to develop a more French/Mediterranean style.

Garden 7

500 Seaview Road, Onetangi
Taking inspiration from the Tropics this 1100 sqm garden offers a stunning combination of colour, texture and flavour. The garden boasts tamarillo, pear, olive, citrus and almond trees.

Garden 8

55 Belle Terrace, Onetangi
It’s hard to believe this magnificent garden with views to ‘die for’ was once a wild gorse-covered cliff! Now, the eye of the artist/owner is evident over every inch of this 1000sqm wonder cascading down to the sea.

Garden 9

30 Ostend Road, Ostend
This delightfully whimsical garden proved very popular during the 2022 Garden Festival. Over the past four years it has ‘grown up’ as Ann and Richard have adapted in response to lifestyle and the garden’s growth.

Garden 10

80/82 Wharf Road, Ostend
Welcome to this magnificent sanctuary overlooking Putiki Bay. Created and meticulously maintained by Hannes and Rafael from R&H Gardening Services to a design by Australian landscape designer Paul Bangay.
