Wet weather didn't stop local ladies attending a garden party event all for a good cause.
About 50 women where sheltered by a big and beautiful white marquee as they attended the Ladies Garden Party at Fountain Garden in Whakamarama today.
There was high tea, a live auction and entertainment as well as bubbles and a pop-up photobooth.
Regardless of the weather Tauranga mum Kristy Harper said the best part about today's event was being able to relax with friends in a "baby free zone."
"Relaxing and eating nice food and drinking bubbly is a bit of a treat." said Ms Harper.
