Twenty fabulous gardens were on show at the Whangārei Garden Discovery over the past three days.

Heavy rain at times on Saturday put a bit of a dampener on the event, which ran from Friday to yesterday, but there was still plenty of enthusiasm from those who attended.

Most of the gardens participating this year are new to Garden Discovery, making it an exciting and fresh tour for regulars.

Northern Advocate photographer Tania Whyte went along to get some tips and take some pics.
