Luncheon en Blanc, to be held at the historic and beautiful Tairoa Lodge in Hawera, will be one of the memorable feature events at this year’s Taranaki Garden Festival.
Speaking is the award-winning garden designer Kate Hillier who has horticulture coursing through her veins. Kate is the former Director of the New Zealand Flower & Garden Show. She and her famous family have collected a record number of golds in the United Kingdom’s celebrated Chelsea Flower Show.
