Auckland Flower Show

New Zealand's biggest horticultural event: Come along to this year's Auckland Flower Show from 20-23 November.

From City Scene, published on 9 November, 2008

If you're a casual gardener or an expert, come along to the biggest horticultural event in New Zealand.

In addition to the Exhibition Gardens that are the traditional stars of the show, there are Courtyard Gardens, the Kiwi Back Gardens and the Resene Planted Borders.

The new all-weather venue will give visitors the opportunity to look down on the gardens from the grandstands or view the flowers at night.

With plenty of public transport options and on-site parking, it is easy to get there.

There are special kids activities and you can enter the Recycle Bin Garden competition by turning your old blue recycling bin into a mini garden.

Visit the Auckland flower show 2008 online for more information or tickets.
