A special place

Nan's garden at Wanaka

Lake Wanaka, South Island, New Zealand

Added 11 months ago

Nan kept a garden of New Zealand natives along the lake at Wanaka for thirty-eight years. The lupins came back every spring, even after she stopped tending to them. After she passed in 2018, the new owners kept the garden as it was. The lupins are blooming again this year.
