Tuesday 8th March 2011 - 4:30pm - 7:30pm
Christchurch's first social event of 2011 that no-one can afford to miss is Ellerslie's Premiere Garden Party to celebrate the opening of the show. Dust off the cocktail dress or suit and be the first to see the award-winning 2011 gardens without the crowds.
This event lets guests wander among the gardens, sipping bubbles and nibbling on canapes while enjoying live jazz and light classical music.
It is also an opportunity to meet with the garden designers and be there to congratulate the supreme award winners - announced during the garden party.
