Garden lovers are in for a treat this spring, with Dove Hospice & Wellness announcing its very first Garden Ramble on Saturday 15 November 2025.

The one-day event will open the gates to a carefully curated selection of private gardens across Auckland’s Eastern Bays, offering a rare chance to discover some of the city’s most creative and inspiring outdoor spaces. From bold design features to imaginative planting, each garden has been selected to spark fresh ideas for both seasoned gardeners and casual enthusiasts alike.

Running from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, the Garden Ramble is more than just a celebration of nature and creativity. All proceeds will go directly to Dove Hospice & Wellness, supporting its mission to provide compassionate care for people and families facing life-limiting illnesses.

“This is a chance to enjoy some of Auckland’s most remarkable private gardens while knowing your ticket purchase is helping families in our community,” says Dove Hospice & Wellness CEO Simon Jones. “It’s a day to be inspired, connect with others, and support the work we do every day.”

The event has been made possible thanks to the support of event partner Humphreys Landscaping, along with Principal Sponsor St Andrew’s Village, Major Sponsor King’s Plant Barn, and supporting partner Milford Asset Management.
