Great Food and Great Memories at Remuera Gardens

✨A special moment at Remuera Gardens✨

Last year, we were delighted to welcome much-loved Kiwi chef Mike Van de Elzen to Remuera Gardens for a special morning of cooking, conversation, and connection. With his passion for simple, healthy meals made from everyday ingredients, Mike shared practical tips and stories from his journey – all grounded in his “good from scratch” philosophy of fresh, wholesome food. It’s a way of cooking that’s not just nourishing, but brings people together – something our community values.

It was a morning filled with warmth, laughter and plenty of inspiration for the kitchen. We enjoyed it so much that we couldn’t resist looking back at some of the best moments. Here’s a little flashback to one of the morning’s most memorable thoughts.

And there’s plenty more to come! We’re putting together an exciting calendar of spring and summer events, including a very special quiz with TV personality Peter Williams and renowned horticulturist Jack Hobbs.

The Colours of Winter at Remuera Gardens

Winter brings its own kind of magic to Remuera Gardens. Across our eight acres of established gardens, more than 150 varieties of camellias burst into bloom, filling the village with colour when many other plants are resting. From delicate pinks and whites to rich reds, camellia season is one of the highlights of the gardening year — and a beautiful reminder that there is always something new to discover at Remuera Gardens.
