Turangi Garden Club

Welcome to Turangi Garden Club

Here's a place where green thumbs unite! The Turangi Garden Club, established in 1986, is a vibrant community of 76 members dedicated to the art and science of gardening. As an environment and outdoors-focused club in the Waikato region, we celebrate everything from nurturing native plants to designing stunning landscapes. Our passion for gardening brings us together to share knowledge, exchange tips, and foster sustainable practices that benefit both our gardens and the environment. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, our club offers a welcoming space to grow your skills and connect with fellow enthusiasts.

Gardening in Tūrangi, Waikato, is a unique experience, and our club is proud to be rooted in this beautiful area. Located at 16 Ohuanga Road, Tūrangi 3334, we’re at the heart of a region known for its stunning natural landscapes and fertile soils. Our central location makes it easy for local gardeners to join us for regular meetings, which occur on the 2nd Monday of each month at 7pm during summer and the 2nd Sunday at 2pm in winter. Our Annual General Meeting (AGM) in April is a highlight, where we plan for the year ahead and celebrate our shared achievements.
