From Nights, 10:30 pm on 8 August 2024

It's not just Paris where New Zealand is winning gold.

In Singapore, a garden designed by a New Zealander has won a gold prize at the city-state's biannual Gardens Festival. 

Jules Moore's Portals to Paradise picked up the top prize in the fantasy garden category. 

The garden, made of more than 4,000 plants, a waterfall, caves, and a "cosmic portal", also includes a soothing, meditative soundtrack 'Singapore Lights' sung by Moore and her son James.

Jules and James join Emile Donovan.
