The Gardening Angels

The Gardening Angels were a Wellington, New Zealand, band from the early 1990's. They recorded two albums before fading from sight, "The Gardening Angels" (1993), and "Infloresence" (1995). Both are worth having.

Guitarist Steven Hinderwell, who also wrote nearly all the tracks, had previuosly been part of The Inhalers. He has long been working at Slowboat Records in Cuba Street, Wellington (Slowboat are arguably the best of only two music retailers left worth knowing about in Wellinton).

For some time The Gardening Angels were regulars at the Wellington venue Bar Bodega.
