“The results speak for themselves and we saw, when we were going around the mountain, every garden was packed,” she says, of the event, which ran from October 30 to November 8. “There were many people who had never been to Taranaki. I met people who had never even heard of Hāwera.” There were also twice as many tour groups compared with previous years and the report reveals 7066 adults attended the garden festival (5510 in 2019) and 5324 visitors were attracted to Taranaki for the event (3500 in 2019). Garnett says people from all over the nation were amazed by what they found. “They were really blown away. They couldn’t believe they hadn’t been here before and what it looked like – our New Plymouth foreshore, our galleries, our eateries and our 40 gardens.”
The mutually beneficial partnership is the natural marriage between art and gardens within Taranaki, and our artists are behind this decision after a successful collaboration in 2020,” she said. Shared dates can only make both events stronger. We are looking forward to the impact these joint events have on the region in the future.” While final numbers are being confirmed, it is looking like this year s joint event attracted close to 80,000 garden visits, with 75 per cent of visitors coming from outside the region. This is up 30,000 from the 2019. Taranaki Garden Festival Manager Tetsu Garnett believed the alliance would play a significant role in economically benefiting the region by drawing more people to Taranaki.
