Outgoing and engaging, I was born to be a tour host. I love making my guests feel taken care of and ensuring they have fun. I have a genuine enthusiasm for meeting new people, and love to share my knowledge of the Canterbury & Kaikōura region that I have lived in all my life. I can't wait to introduce you to all my favourite places and people and scenery. I am a passionate Cantabrian. Raised in the art world, married to a Canterbury farmer, I celebrate Canterbury gardens, art, and wineries, and have exclusive access to some of the most beautiful and intriguing private gardens, farms bush walks in Canterbury.

Overview of your Christchurch tour

Discover a special Christchurch garden where contemporary New Zealand sculpture and native biodiversity come together. Just 20 minutes from Christchurch CBD, this once-bare one-hectare paddock has been transformed into a thriving sanctuary for native birds, rare Canterbury plants and sculpture lovers. Since 2010, more than 8,000 native trees and shrubs have been planted, with the vision of recreating a podocarp forest featuring tōtara, mataī and kahikatea. The garden also supports a native regeneration project and is home to rare and threatened native plants of Canterbury. If sculpture and art are your thing, this is a wonderful place to explore. The garden is continually evolving, with sculpture playing a major role. I’m always happy to customise your experience. Add a garden, winery, art experience or anything else that takes your fancy and create a Christchurch experience that is uniquely yours.
