A love affair

The Hamilton Gardens are the perfect setting for A Love Affair, a weekend celebrating the romance of spring on September 13 and 14.

Demonstrations and displays such as ikebana, topiary and bonsai take place in the renowned theme gardens, and a Victorian Garden Fete offers all the fun of a traditional fair.

There's dance, music and many entertaining options with a love affair theme.

Displays of orchids, lilies, camellias and other spring plants complement the blooms at the New Zealand Daffodil Show.

Entry is free but donations are appreciated.
