Flower show’s stunning location will set it apart internationally

Auckland Councillor for Orakei, Cameron Brewer, says it is great news that beautiful Bastion Point has been chosen for theinaugural New Zealand Flower & Garden Show - scheduled for 23 – 27 November 2016.

“An international flower and garden show is a great fit with Auckland given the huge number of gardening enthusiasts across the region and the fact that the region’s growing rapidly as a visitor destination in its own right. It’s wonderful getting a big flower show back in Auckland.

“What’s more the fact that it’s in the eastern suburbs is absolutely brilliant given how much genuine interest and keenness there’ll be from many of our discerning locals.

“As deputy chair of the Ngati Whatua Orakei Reserves Board, it’s particularly pleasing to have Ngati Whatua as a proud partner, warmly opening their whenua for the event.

“This won’t be like any other flower show anywhere else in the world. This will be set on arguably the city’s most stunning vantage point showcasing Auckland’s unique natural environment at its very best.

“Not only will this promote the very best in garden and floral design, but the outstanding Waitemata Harbour backdrop and rich Maori heritage will give this new flower show a real point of difference internationally,” says Mr Brewer.
