Love in the garden
What is it about a garden that makes it a perfect place to get married? Auckland Flower Show exhibitor Carolyn Melling believes it's about the plants. "It's like being in a church, when you're among plants, you can feel a spiritual presence."
The exhibition garden will feature a Samoan fale and bamboo structures surrounded by tropical plants that are both rare and beautiful. "We are including two 15-year-old Geonoma undata (red crown shaft palm). These are not available for sale anywhere in the world apart from seed. We also will include two specimen Parajubaea torallyii (mountain coconut), and an African cycad."
Another feature will be a bridal table, beautifully set and decorated with floral designs of unusual flowers from the Landsendt garden. Carolyn also extols the use of bamboo, which she believes is underappreciated in New Zealand gardens.
"This is not going to be a traditional wedding garden with roses and hydrangeas," she says.
"This is a show, and we really want to reveal a garden that is different and botanically exciting, because that is what people come to see."
