21st Festival of Flowers

Friday 19 February – Sunday 14 March 2010

‘burst!’ Festival of Flowers is an exciting, fun-filled celebration of everything floral, including displays, music, food, storytelling,  photography, calligraphy, Ikebana, flax weaving, the New Zealand tree-climbing competition, and more!

There are loads of free activities, and opportunities to watch, learn and even get your hands dirty.
