GO Winter
Gardens after dark — June to August 2028.
The quietest time of year for gardens and nature is one of rare beauty — a chance to gather for warmth and camaraderie, to share nourishing food and plentiful knowledge, and to mark Matariki, the southern new year.
Light, fire and stillness as the city marks Matariki and the southern sky returns to centre stage. Go Ōtepoti's winter season is the night garden — a season of renewal and transformation.
Gardens after dark — light, fire and stillness.
Marking the southern new year together.
Warmth, kai and shared knowledge through the cold.
