Katikati Garden Ramble Tickets on Sale for November Event

Tickets are now available for the 2025 Katikati Garden Ramble, scheduled for 8–9 November from 9am to 5pm. Priced at $35 each plus a booking fee, tickets can be purchased through the Arts Junction website at www.theartsjunction.org.nz. Once bought, ticket holders receive a PDF booklet of participating gardens, then present their ticket at any garden gate on the day to receive a wristband granting entry to all remaining gardens.

Organised by the local Rotary Club, all proceeds from the event go directly to community projects that Rotary supports. Gardens stretch from Knyvett Rd near Aongatete through to Athenree Rd north of town, offering visitors a wide variety of landscapes, designs, plants, trees, and flowers. Only assistance dogs are permitted on the ramble, and cuttings may only be taken with the landowner's permission.

As an added bonus, Kings Seeds on Wharawhara Rd will be open on Saturday 8 November, making it a worthwhile complementary stop for garden enthusiasts. A raffle will also be held, with a garden seat built by Katikati Menz Shed as the prize.
