Hank Vankuyk​ and Margaret Douglas planted their four hectare garden, starring a pond, petanque and native trees, by hand - it is an expensive hobby.
To cover the cost, the couple of 23 years rent their beloved South Auckland land to strangers to get married in.
Although for them it was not about the money. Douglas said it offered a cost effective option to New Zealand families who did not have a garden of their own to host an outdoor wedding.
​It seems gardens are the latest to meet the market of the Airbnb-type sharing economy.
