Hit the Trail

Hit the Trail is a seasonal community radio show dedicated to showcasing the annual Taranaki Arts Trail, Taranaki Garden Festival and Taranaki Sustainable Backyards Trail, which in 2024, takes place from Friday 1st November to Sunday 10th November.

In the lead-up to these events, Rebecca Beyer, Gabrielle Fawker, Virginia Winder, and Sophie Walker interview artists, gardeners, and community members of all ages about their passion, their inspiration and the hard work that goes into making it a joyful and interesting experience for visitors. Listen to artists and gardeners talk about their art and the practical and inventive solutions they’ve found to common and vexing problems.
