Couldrey House

In late November 2011, Hibiscus Coast Floral Art Group members decorated Couldrey House at Wenderholm Regional Park on State Highway 1 about 48km north of Auckland. (click here to read more about Couldrey House)

The historic house was decorated with a Christmas theme in both Victorian and Traditional style. One of the men entered into the spirit of the day and constructed some very popular reindeer.

Throughout the lovely grounds, there were marquees and tents for flowers, food, drinks and a barbeque as well as crafts which included a display of patchwork quilts. The Kumeu Vintage Brass Band played on the lawn and there was also a wonderful collection of vintage cars on display.

The beautiful day and glorious grounds encouraged approximately 1000 people to visit, and enjoy a relaxing day out. Several of the Christmas designs were purchased at the conclusion of a very successful and well organized community event.
