Auckland Flower Show ready to blossom

The Auckland Flower Show opens to the public tomorrow, and gardening personality Lynda Hallinan says it will be well received by gardening and floral fans alike.

The flower show is being held at the new, centrally located venue of Alexandra Park. To have launched a show of this standard is a credit to the industry, comments Hallinan, who edits NZ Gardener magazine. “The Auckland Flower Show has well and truly met the standard as a showcase of creativity, and new and interesting plants,” she says.

“It’s going to be a great show and the people who come are really going to enjoy it.”

The show opens tomorrow and runs until Sunday.
