Thank you to our wonderful 2024 sponsors and supporters
A huge thank you to the fantastic people and businesses supporting our vision and Kaupapa. We are so grateful for their generosity in giving time, expertise, materials, equipment or funds. Without them the festival simply could not happen. We hope as they have supported our community that you will support them.

Thank you to P.E.C. Stainless Steel for creating our state of the art stainless steel gardens - which are a must see feature of our garden tours.
