Botanical Expo Outdoor
New old event repeated outdoors, but still with almost the same number of sellers, workshops. Be wowed with floral art. Extravaganza of plants, spring flowers, alpine and little treasures, house plants, all in an exquisite 4.8Ha Broadfields Garden of international significance. Should the weather forecast be bad or covid gets in the way, we have alternative date of 23 October . Cancellations on the New Zealand Alpine Garden Society and botanical expo FB pages on Wednesday before.
Avon Floral Art is running a competition to select the participants for the National Floral Artist of the Year. Get up close to their work and be surprised by the creativity of the artists. These are talented people who are prepared to share their skills - they will be running workshops during the weekend to show us how to achieve professional results with ease.
The New Zealand Alpine Garden Society is a club for plant enthusiasts. We just love plants! And while we are especially attracted to smaller plants that fit so well into compact troughs and gardens we also adore woodlanders, bulbs of all types ,plants that like it dry and our own stunning natives.
