Yesterday I went with friends to the Ellerslie Flower Show in Manukau (no, not in Ellerslie). To be honest I expected something more like our national garden show in Germany where they grow real gardens, build lakes and so on. The show was more like an exhibition with big tents with things ranging from ‘what’s that supposed to mean?’ to ‘that’s quite nice’. Around the tents you could also buy plants, garden furnitures, fireplaces (?) etc.

The ticket was $30 and it’s definitely not worth it. I mean it was interesting to see what the Flower Show is like because it always seems to be such a big event every year. But paying $30 for a few nice flowers, lawns, and a big nursery/market garden is a bit too much. Anyway, at least the Burger afterwards at Burger Fuel was really good.
