The gardens
Grounds kept for gathering, all year round
Ebony Gardens sits along the Meru to Maua Road, a short drive from Meru town, on grounds that have been shaped and kept for gathering. Mature trees, cut lawns and open sky, with the Nyambene range in the distance on a clear day.

Ebony Gardens
Wide lawns edged with clipped hedges, paved walkways, gazebos and mature trees throughout, with room for a marquee, a stage and a dance floor without anything feeling crowded.
Capacity on request
Kongo Gardens
A garden full of character: stone-studded arches, footbridges over a water feature, pebble-mosaic paths and an open lawn for the main event. The children's play area makes it a favourite for family celebrations and photoshoots.
