| The Garden and Flower Show  Whatever size, shape or ambition you have for your garden, you'll find the latest trends and inspirational ideas to make the most of your outdoor space at Gardenex, the Garden and Flower Show at the Coca-Cola dome at Northgate Johannesburg from 20 – 22 April 2007. Your garden is an extension of your home, desires and tastes, a tactile environment and a rich and fragrant haven to rest the body and feed the soul. The multitude of gardening experts, designers and landscapers at Gardenex will help you define and refine your gardening design and unique taste.Discover new methods to create richer textures, shapes, ornamental forms, colour, scents and sounds in your garden. Learn how to care for your garden and keep it blooming all year round. Let the designers enlighten you on how to use your outdoor space intelligently and to complete it with bold, bright or delicate colours that will maximise your enjoyment of your surroundings. The modern gardening movement, directing the future flow of magnificent gardens everywhere is to incorporate an interdisciplinary approach to your garden - from design and theme to the selection of plant and flower varieties that you choose. The use of creative materials from wood and textured rocks to modern pots and polished pebbles can effectively blend the natural and the new and you'll find the boldest ideas amongst the fresh flowers and foliage at Gardenex. Create a classic, romantic or dramatic environment. Go entirely organic in your garden; create a 'moon' garden of vivid white and cream blooms that are open in the evenings and reflect the moonlight for a truly romantic garden; or establish a lush green pond garden balanced with a calming Zen theme. The vast selection of design themes at Gardenex will inspire even the most avid gardeners. Gardenex returns with an abundance of plants and new flower varieties, bringing you not only the best in horticultural and floral displays, but the rare and exotic too. Popular show features include the Blooming Ideas Theatre and free talks and workshops by expert gardeners, designers and landscapers. Gardening enthusiasts are invited to partake in the Garden Flower Competition to display their best blooms to a panel of skilled judges, or to simply stand in awe of the cut flower quality competition. The Gardenex Florist Designer Competition and the Flower Arranging Workshop will separately showcase the imaginative results of expert and novice floral designers, and the Ready, Steady Plant Competition and Keynote Horticultural displays will have every green-fingered visitor motivated to get gardening! write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Exhibition News :: home page |
