Join us next spring on Norfolk Island for a week of fresh seasonal produce with a focus on the gardens and flora of this magical South Pacific Island
From coast to coast, subtropical Norfolk Island features rolling green hills, quaint winding roads and behind the hedges treasure troves of beautiful gardens. The A&H Show is a highlight on the Norfolk Island calendar that brings together the whole community with displays of cooking, art, floral arrangements, flowers, fresh vegetables, fruit and more.
A week of gardens – and more!
There really is something about gardening that non-gardeners envy but also find inspiring. Perhaps they too could have such beauty surround them and share in some of the deep satisfaction that comes from watching plants prosper and bloom.
While usually a solitary or couple's activity, when gardeners get together to share knowledge, successes and challenges, their enthusiasm and passion shines through. Few places is this more clearly seen than during the Norfolk Island Gardening Week.
Norfolk Island is located almost mid-distance between the Australian mainland and New Zealand and it is this isolation that has resulted in it being an incredible destination for anyone interested in gardening. The island is home to not only the ubiquitous and endemic Norfolk Island Pine, (Araucaria heterophylla) but also another 51 endemic plants and 174 natives.

Tour Highlights
During this week you’ll enjoy private tours to three Norfolk Island Garden Club member’s gardens, visits to market gardens,
flower gardens, an orchard, plus a guided bushwalk through National Park followed by the stunning views and delicious
fare of a clifftop barbeque breakfast.
At the A&H Show you’ll be sure to appreciate displays of the Island’s best cut flowers and arrangements, agricultural produce
and arts & crafts. Ticket entry is included. This is a really fun day to share with the locals. Two lovely meals will book-end
your week starting with a Welcome Dinner and a final night at one of the Island's local restaurants.
Professional, organised, friendly and prompt communication from the Norfolk Island Travel Centre team at all interactions. I would highly recommend them to all my friends. Well done team!

Norfolk Island Travel Centre would like to advise that our booking conditions have been reconsidered for those travelling as part of the Garden Week event in light of the current worldwide COVID19 pandemic. Normally your $200 deposit is non-refundable, however if prior to final payment date (90 days prior to departure) you are prevented from travelling due to either a COVID travel ban or event cancellation due to COVID your $200 deposit can be applied to the next year’s event or will be refunded. Please note cancellations for any other reason will incur our standard booking conditions and cancellation policy.
Final payment
Full payment is due 90 days prior to departure. Our package prices are based on bulk purchase airfares with Air New Zealand. These fares have conditions that include final payment being completed no later than 90 days before travel. Airfare is subject to change up until time of ticketing and is non-refundable after issue. Changes are permitted until day before departure however date/route changes can only be made within 7 days travel dates either side of your original booked travel dates. Amendments, upgrades and name changes are NOT permitted within 24 hours prior to departure. Payment of a change fee (per passenger) applies plus any applicable upgrade fees to cover the difference between the original fare and the new fare.

We strongly recommend travel insurance to protect you in some instances for unforeseen cancellation.
Cancellation after final payment and ticketing as a result of Covid19
After final payment, and in the event of a lockdown of the Island or border closure from your destination it is unknown how Air New Zealand will handle issued tickets, however it is likely they will do as they have for other affected Covid19 bookings to date and hold your tickets over as a credit for next year’s Garden Week event only. Please note Air New Zealand will not provide a refund. Similarly, we would expect accommodation and car hire partners to respond in the same way by holding your bookings as a credit to be used next year. Usually, accommodation cancellation penalties apply within 90 days prior to travel and within 60 days of travel, up to 100% cancellation fees may apply.
