Welcome To Oasis Cottage

Oasis Cottage is located 7km outside the small rural town of Oxford, nestled in the picturesque landscape of North Canterbury at the base of the Southern Alps in New Zealand.

The 5-acre English-style country garden has been assessed by the New Zealand Gardens Trust as a 3-Star (Notable) garden. Garden visits and tours are welcome by appointment.

We also have open days where no appointment is necessary. Bring a friend and enjoy a walk around our garden, either self-guided with a map or guided by us!

We Make Seasonal Flower Bouquets

Fresh, seasonal and luxuriant, we grow specialty flowers with love and care in our wildlife-friendly country garden.

Our natural-style flower bouquets, infused with a hint of European flair, evoke the charm of gardens from a bygone era.

We deliver flower bouquets within the Oxford area! Or, if you are local, you can visit us to pick up.

    The Quiet Work That Keeps a Garden Running

    The work that keeps a garden running is rarely seen. A reflection on the small, repeated tasks that maintain order, extend the season, and quietly shape a well-kept garden.
