11 - 15 March 2009, Hagley Park, Christchurch
At its new venue in central Christchurch's Hagley Park, the 13th Ellerslie International Flower Show is shaping up to be the best yet.
Show favourites to return in 2009 will be Hort Galore, Floral Art Marquee and Starlight Marquee. Christchurch will also put its own 'stamp' on the show - introducing a number of new features, including the Taste of the South - the best food and wine the South Island has to offer.
