Introducing the Cambridge Raceway Taylor Street HQ

This year the Garden Festival is operating a hub from Taylor Street HQ at the Cambridge Raceway,  where you can pick up a pre-ordered lunch, buy a coffee or beverage, park your car and catch a ride on a pre-ordered shuttle which will take you on the garden tour, or if you are an NZMCA member, overnight parking. 

This year we're proud to support...

Proceeds from this year’s Rotary Cambridge Garden Festival will be shared between Kids in Need Waikato, Interlock NZ Trust and Cambridge Lifeskills.

Funds directed to the chosen charities will make a significant and positive impact within the local community, fostering growth, resilience and support for those who need it most.

Kids in Need Waikato was founded in 2017 by Linda and Graeme Roil with the mission to support children in the foster care system by providing care packs filled with pre-loved clothes, toys, and essential items. These packs are carefully personalised to help children feel valued and cared for during challenging transitions​

Interlock NZ Trust, founded by Aaron and Lois Ure, provides a social environment, where life, disability, and community connect. Interlock provides opportunities for people with disabilities to develop the confidence and skills to connect with their community through a range of services. Their programmes are tailored to provide comprehensive support to those in need, ensuring that everyone has access to the resources they require to thrive.

Cambridge Lifeskills provides free, confidential counselling services to children and young people in the Cambridge area. Their aim is to promote emotional wellbeing and resilience, helping young people to cope with the stresses and pressures of life. The organisation offers a safe and supportive environment where children can express their feelings and receive professional guidance.
