FUTURE RHODENZAS
‘Rhododendron Odyssey’ 2024
Many who attended the NZRA conference in Geraldine in 2008 still comment what a great event it was. 2024 brings the opportunity for you to return to Geraldine to experience the beautiful gardens and scenery the area is known for.
Beautiful gardens in Timaru will also be incorporated into Rhodenza 2024. A recent study of eleven regions that do not have a metropolis, found Timaru came out on top as the best place to live in New Zealand. It is known for its elegant Victorian and Edwardian buildings, Caroline Bay, its thriving port and is the gateway to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the Central South Island.
You are invited to come and enjoy what the Geraldine and Timaru areas have to offer.
