Garden Delights

• A real highlight of the show is looking at the student designers who have often come up with quirky, playful gardens that would make an improvement on any Saturday BBQ. Including one garden this year that had a hidden foosball table
• The recycling theme is one that is embraced by the designers and you'll find the ideas they portray in their display gardens could be embraced at home. Such as the herb planter wall made from old pallets that has been strategically placed next to the outdoor pizza oven
• There is always a touch of fantasy about the Ellerslie Flower Show and this year it was through a magical exhibit called the Gloaming Forest. Portraying that moment just before dusk when magical and mystical creatures come out from the forest undergrowth
• The show is on every year in March and is a must do for any keen gardener
