Palmerston North 2023

Hearts and Homes 2023 showcased some of Manawatū’s finest homes and gardens. The tour offered a selection of urban and lifestyle properties to explore and inspire the attendees. Each home was beautifully styled, this was undertaken by a mix of homeowners, volunteers, floral artists, and professional florists. 

The event took place over 2 days.  Despite a poor forecast in the days leading up, the weather cooperated so attendees could relax and enjoy touring the 10 stunning locations as well as dine and shop at our event HQ, which was the historic Caccia Birch House.

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible homeowners, sponsors, supporters, volunteers, and event attendees whose generous contributions all played a vital role in this fantastic community event. All of this terrific support ensures that a greater portion of the funds raised goes directly to Arohanui Hospice.

Rangitikei 2022

2022 Hearts and Homes was much anticipated after having to postpone our 2021 event, due to the world wide COVID 19 pandemic.

Situated in the beautiful Rangitīkei, our attendees were lucky enough to experience and enjoy some of the oldest and most historic homesteads and gardens in the region.  A fortunate addition was having our event HQ located at the picturesque Nga Tawa School who kindly hosted us for the event days.

We extend our sincere gratitude to our amazing homeowners, sponsors, supporters, volunteers, and participants for their generous contributions, which are indispensable in making this community event a success. Thanks to your tremendous support, the funds raised go directly towards helping to ensure Arohanui Hospice can continue to provide specialist palliative care at no charge to their patients and help support their families and whanau.
