Jane Dove Juneau spends a lot of time in other people’s gardens. The Taranaki-based photographer shoots gardens and houses throughout the region for NZ House and Garden, Your Home and Garden, and other magazines, and also produces beautiful images of the New Zealand landscape that have been published in several books. Join us in New Plymouth to learn about Garden Photography and be inspired by Jane and her composition skills. We will have access to a private garden that stars in the annual Powerco Garden Festival and also photograph a hidden public gem – Tūpare. Tūpare has recently earned the NZ Gardens Trust highest six-star rating – a distinction shared only by 13 other locations nationally.

The weekend will commence at 5pm on Friday for a 2 hour intro and tuition session on “getting it right in camera” before heading out to both gardens on Saturday. The weekend will conclude with a morning editing and feedback session. (Lightroom or Photoshop are recommended for this session).
