Judges Supreme Award goes to the Christchurch Botanic Gardens at Ellerslie

The Christchurch Botanic Gardens has won the Judges Supreme Award at this year’s Ellerslie International Flower Show with a garden of fungi, mould and lichen.

Ellerslie Flower show opening tomorrow!

Get along to the Ellerslie International Flower Show in North Hagley Park tomorrow (or in the next few days) to see who’s entered, who’s won, and to enjoy the offerings from the many and varied entrants. It promises to be a real show-stopper with almost 100 horticultural exhibits, including more than 30 display gardens.
