Garden Expression of Interest

The Bay of Plenty Garden & Art Festival will celebrate its 14th Festival in November 2024.

We invite you to join us and add your hosting talents to the Festival by exhibiting your garden to the thousands of visitors who come to Tauranga and the Bay of Plenty region for the Festival. Our Festival Garden Committee will consider all new garden hosts, and if your garden fits the Festival’s criteria, we will contact you for registration to be a festival garden stop.

Please complete the form below to acknowledge your ‘expression of interest’ to exhibit at the Festival.

Also include up to 4 images of your garden, allowing us to see a good representation. Please make sure that the photos you send through are of good quality and reflect the best of your garden.

We will follow up on your submission and will continue to update you on our plans for the 2024 Festival and answer any questions you may have. 

In the meantime, please feel free to contact us with any queries.
