A great use of hedge at Ruahine Street.

The weather might have not co-operated early in the morning but it didn't put a dampener on the garden ramble in Dannevirke.

Nine gardens in the town were on show at the weekend and there was something for every gardener at each garden.

Those who wanted advice on what to plant could talk to each host or pick up ideas.

There was also a mix of the quirky and whimsical, and plants went on sale.

Organiser Lynne Mitchell was very pleased with how the weekend event went. She said there were people from Wellington, Pahiatua and Hawke's Bay.

While she wasn't sure how many came through, some gardens reported up to 140 visitors.

Mitchell said it was quieter on Sunday but it meant she had more time to meet visitors.

"I enjoyed having them."

She said the vibes she got from some people on the gardens were good and had a few compliments.

"It was nice to show what we do."
