Everyone is invited to the grand opening of Hamilton Gardens' newest concept garden.

Mansfield Garden's opening is from 4 to 7pm on November 12, according to Hamilton Gardens' Facebook page.

It was inspired by the early 20th-century New Zealand garden as described in Katherine Mansfield's famous short story The Garden Party.

A late 19th-century villa and nearby tennis court, lily pond, a banquet table covered in traditional foods (made of resin and concrete) and planting reminiscent of the era will feature.



The tennis court will be closed to the public after the official opening.



The first 100 guests will receive a souvenir gift to celebrate the garden and its history.

The Mansfield Garden is the third of the five gardens to open in the current $7.2 million development programme. The first was the Tudor Garden, opened in 2015, and the second was the Concept Garden, which opened in January this year.

The final two of the five - the Picturesque Garden and Surrealist Garden - are on track to open in 2019.
