Hunter's Garden Marlborough is the premier 'Top of the South' spring garden festival. Now in its 18th year Hunter's Garden Marlborough is held over a week in early November and is the draw card for gardeners and non-gardeners alike. Garden Tours are the major feature of the event with a range of carefully selected tour options encompassing everything from colourful small town gardens to breath taking country estates. Complementing the tours is a series of specialised workshops and presentations. A celebrity Chef is an annual feature alongside specialists in such skills as flower arranging, creating your own potager garden or gardening with natives. A highlight of the event is the Garden Fete held in the town square. Browse more than 200 stalls for that extra special gift, garden tools or keepsake.
