Magnolia Grove, New Plymouth, NZ


This is Vance and Kathryn's home on the outskirts of New Plymouth. Our room is the one with the glass door to the right.



Here's the view from our bedroom window.



They have very fittingly named their beautiful 2 acre garden "Magnolia Grove" as Vance is a WORLD CLASS magnolia hybridizer (breeder). One of his newest renditions known as "Genie" just won 1st prize in Germany for a flowering bush in the biggest flower and plant show in the world. He expects business will pick up soon!
