Event History

History

Hearts and Homes was founded in 1997 by a wonderful committee of creative ladies. Starting life as “Bows and Bells”, the tour was designed to be an inspiring day out in beautiful homes in Palmerston North, decorated for Christmas with funds raised and donated to Arohanui Hospice.

25 years on, Hearts and Homes is a significant event on the Arohanui Hospice fundraising calendar. It is only possible due to the generosity of the homeowners, sponsors and the considerable contributions from a team of floral artists, florists, stylists, community groups and over 200 volunteers supporting from around the region.
