Bold, majestic tulips are the heroes each Spring at the annual Longbush Cottage Tulip Festival. Over the past seven years, Luke Gardner has planted thousands of tulips throughout Longbush Cottage garden, a Garden of National Significance, 15 mins from Martinborough and Carterton.  Many varieties have also naturalised returning year after year, ensuring the festival is a riot of spring colour. You can stroll through the different garden rooms, enjoying colour-themed displays and an extensive collection of pots around the garden.  

The festival is on 5th and 6th October . www.longbushcottage.co.nz
