Show Stopper

The 2010 Ellerslie International Flower Show promises to be a real show-stopper. For the first time in its 15-year history, Ellerslie will have two international feature gardens in 2010.

Multi award-winning Chelsea Flower Show designer Chris Beardshaw from England will create the Show’s largest ever garden with his 12m x 64m An Englishman’s Retreat on the shores of Victoria Lake, while Japan’s international award-winning designer Koji Ninomiya will create Ellerslie’s first traditional Japanese garden. read more

Largest exhibition garden in Ellerslie History

Multi award-winning Chelsea Flower Show designer Chris Beardshaw has designed and will build the largest ever exhibition garden in the 15-year history of the Ellerslie International Flower Show at this year’s Show.

Stretching 12 metres across the shore of Victoria Lake, it will extend 64 metres into the showgrounds and is guaranteed to be a real show-stopper, says Ellerslie International Flower Show Exhibition Manager Kate Hillier.

“With almost 10,000 plants, including 4500 annuals and 3000 herbaceous plants, this magnificent English garden will have loads of colour and plenty of fragrance, making it a real feast for all the senses.” read more
