Garden Discovery, Waipu Pipe Band Competitions and Sculpture Symposium

Last weekend (15/2/2014) we went on the Whangarei Garden Discovery trails.  On Friday we went out to Ngunguru and Tutukaka and on Sunday we looked at gardens around Whangarei itself and the Whangarei Botanic Gardens.  Saturday, however, we went south to One Tree Point, Ruakaka and Waipu.  While at Waipu we had a look at the preparations for the Pipe Band competitions and then in the evening we attended the auction of the pieces made at the Sculpture Symposium.

No wonder I get tired as on each day, before we set off, we took Sophie on an hour's walk.

Anyway, here are some photos from the Saturday.
























The "fire pit" won the people's choice award and sold on the night


The sculpture below was bought by the council.
