It’s time to shake off the winter blues and celebrate the arrival of kōanga (spring)!
The annual Te Wā o te Kōanga - Spring Festival at Wellington Gardens is the perfect way to get amongst the kōanga flowers and celebrate the season of new beginnings where fresh buds bloom and life starts anew.
The festival runs for the whole month of September. Join us for a series of free springtime events where we enjoy a new season with friends, whānau, and visitors.
