30 Years of Hearts & Homes
Beautiful Homes.
Lasting Impact.
For almost 30 years, Hearts & Homes has brought people together for a day of inspiring homes, beautiful florals and good company — all in support of Arohanui Hospice.
Founded in 1997 by a group of creative local women as Bows and Bells, a Christmas home tour through Palmerston North, it has grown into one of the region's most loved biennial fundraisers — made possible today by an extraordinary community of homeowners, florists, stylists, sponsors and more than 200 volunteers.
Every ticket helps Arohanui Hospice provide free palliative care and support to people and whānau across Manawatū, Horowhenua, Rangitīkei and Tararua — care that relies on community generosity to remain free for everyone who needs it.
Every home tells a story of beauty. Every ticket tells a story of care.
Palmerston North Floral Art Club
A partnership that helps every home bloom.
The Palmerston North Floral Art Club has been a cherished part of Hearts & Homes for many years, generously sharing their creativity and expertise to help transform homes throughout the tour.
Each year, members create stunning floral displays that complement each home’s unique character, adding beauty and inspiration for visitors to enjoy. Their dedication has become an integral part of the Hearts & Homes experience and is a wonderful reflection of the generosity and community spirit at the heart of this event.
We are incredibly grateful for their ongoing partnership and the time, talent, and passion they continue to share. Their contribution helps create a truly special experience for our guests while supporting the vital work of Arohanui Hospice.
