About Art in a Garden

This annual exhibition of vibrant New Zealand created work is set in a garden gallery providing you with a unique experience. Creative sculptures can be appreciated alongside wonderful garden vistas, whereas paintings, pottery; glass and jewellery are exhibited within Flaxmere's atmospheric 1890's barn Gallery.

The event is great opportunity to see a part of North Canterbury, at its best.  Relaxing and inspiring to all ages.

Hawarden is just an hours drive north from Christchurch through the Waipara Valley Vineyards, turning inland into the Weka Pass with its distinctive limestone formations. From Waikari you drive through farm land country to Flaxmere a garden on terraced riverbed country that has been in the making for 45 years.  Penny Zino has created a 7 acre Garden of National Significance. It is here that approximately 70 artists and sculptors will exhibit.
