NZAGS have had some super displays at the Ellerslie International Flower Show over the years and this year they have had a "supreme" success! The Ellersie Team has won a Gold Award and the Supreme Award for Horticultural Excellence at the Show,which was held from 6th to 10th March 2013.
The NZAGS website says ' This year's theme was "Plant Portraits - the Art of Plants" featuring a gallery of potted plants chosen for their flowers, foliage or form, each pot framed as if in an art gallery against a black background. The quirky captions and props were an added inspiration from the team!'
