Mon, 03/18/2013 - 05:50 — wjwANOTHER GOLD AND THE SUPREME AWARD FOR HORTICULTURAL EXCELLENCE AT ELLERSLIE 2013
The Ellerslie team of the NZAGS has done it again, and won a Gold Award and the Supreme Award for Horticultural Excellence at the Ellerslie International Flower Show held in Christchurch in February. 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!
