🌿 MEET MARUIA – THE SHELTERED VALLEY! 🌸
This has genuinely been one of my favourite gardens I’ve visited so far!
Tucked away behind a rustic barn door, this beautiful hidden gem is full of surprises, from terraced gardens and winding pathways to orchards, veggie patches and plenty of little spots to explore. 🌼
And you can experience it for yourself at the Bay of Plenty Garden & Art Festival!
