An Update from Us
Our physical shop lease is ending at the end of June 2026. With the majority of our antique and vintage treasure heading out of Hawke’s Bay via our website, it’s time to start a new chapter for Gardenalia.
We’re relocating to the Tukituki Valley (15 mins from Havelock North village) to operate alongside our seasonal cut flower business from the one location. Less retail rush, more country pace.
As we settle into our new premises – which aren’t quite finished yet, open early 2027 – the way we operate will naturally become a little different from our years in town with a physical store. We’ll be operating with more curated opening times, seasonal hours a week at a time, including some evenings. We feel a slower, more intentional rhythm suits both the nature of our work and overall experience we can offer you.
All opening weeks will be shared well in advance through the website and social media @gardenalianz, ensuring you have ample time to plan your visit.
In the meantime, our website will continue operating as usual with available pieces still being added regularly and enquiries always welcome.
We’ll continue sharing updates and glimpses behind the scenes via our email newsletter and social media throughout the transition.
We’re incredibly grateful for your support and excitement as we make this move and can’t wait to welcome you to the new location when the doors officially open early next year.

Our Story
A lifelong love of gardens, a fascination with history, and a passion for the old.
A lifetime spent working in and designing gardens has nurtured our passion for all things garden, alongside a particular fascination with the history of gardens in the UK — our garden mecca. It is here, amongst the old English gardens, historic estates and time-worn treasures that we find endless inspiration.
Coupled with our love of the old, this passion led us to create Garenalia eight years ago in Havelcok North, with a desire to share the beauty, character and history of antique and vintage garden pieces.
Each year, we travel throughout the UK, visiting antique and vintage fairs, reclamation yards and auctions in search of those special, one-off pieces that capture our imagination.
Our finds are hand-chosen, never mass-produced, and each has its own unique character and history. Their years of wear, their patina and their imperfections are precisely what make them so appealing. Pieces that carry the marks of age and tell a story of their own and are far from past their best.
We love the thought of these pieces finding a new home and a new purpose in another garden, bringing with them a little history, a sense of permanence and a character that simply cannot be recreated.
In 2026, we brought Gardenalia home to the country just outside of Havelock North, in the stunning Tuki Tuki Valley, where it now sits alongside our seasonal cut flower business, In The Flowers. It feels a natural home for both passions, where old garden treasures and freshly gathered seasonal blooms come together in a setting inspired by the garden itself.
Our collection is ever-changing, thoughtfully gathered and always guided by our love of gardens, our fascination with their history and our appreciation for things made to last.
We invite you to explore Gardenalia and discover something special for your own home and garden — a piece with a past, ready to become part of a new story.
