Greetings!

The Ellerslie International Flower Show is over for this year and I think the overall standard was high.

The Landscapedesign.co.nz Exhibition Garden was awarded a Merit Award which the team is thrilled with given the rush job in the weather and the time constraints.

The garden achieved its goal of bringing the website into the public eye, and allowed the team to meet thousands of people interested in gardening and landscaping.

We especially enjoyed meeting all you people that already use the website and receive this newsletter!

We must give huge thanks to our garden sponsors, in particular the guys from Land Creations who laboured for 7 days straight to get the garden ready in time. And we have just about forgiven you for trying take a dip in the Kiwi Tub on Thursday night! If you live in the Auckland area and want contemporary landscaping or garden maintenance then we highly recommend contacting Dave and Nathan from Land Creations

 Macrocarpa kitset - create this space in your garden

The exhibition garden The macrocarpa pergola was a hit with many of the visitors at Ellerslie and everyone commented on the powerful presence of the wood. Blokes in particular liked the bulk of the 250mm posts. Most people could envision the structure suiting a coastal property, and while others could see it as a tennis pavillion, this particular structure is earmarked for a property on Waiheke Island.

Many people expressed interest in buying this structure, and it is now available to puchase in kitset form that can be readily assembled at your place, whether coastal, bush clad or alpine.The plans are drawn and the kitsets are ready - so be in quick to get one up before the holidays!
