Ellerslie International Flower Show tickets on sale

With planning well underway, tickets for next year’s Ellerslie International Flower Show, presented by Egmont Seed Company, from 7 – 11 March are on sale from Tuesday 1 November.

General Manager for the Show Dave Mee says, “After the loss of this year’s flower show it feels good to be moving forward, and putting tickets on sale for 2012 is a great milestone.

“We’re really confident next year is going to be a fantastic event. With our new sponsor on board and an influx of flowers planned – it’s going to be a bright and beautiful time in the city.”
