First The Road to Ellerslie TV show screens next week
A visit to Hurunui’s Flaxmere Garden, a chat with Christchurch
landscape designer Erik Ellis and practical lessons on how
to make a vegetable patch are key features of the first The
Road to Ellerslie – in the Garden City episode screening
next Saturday (27 December).
The Road to Ellerslie – in the Garden City is a 13-week
television series screening on TV1 on Saturdays at 9.30am.
Ellerslie International Flower Show managing director Dave
Mee says each week the television show will follow designers
as they prepare to take part in the first Christchurch-hosted
Show, as well as visiting Canterbury’s award-winning
and nationally significant gardens, promoting sustainability,
offering gardening tips and showcasing new plants and gardening
products.
“This Saturday’s show takes viewers through Penny
Zino’s North Canterbury country garden designed for all
seasons, we also meet Erik Ellis who shows us a challenging
Sumner garden he designed and we talk about his exhibition
garden for Ellerslie before Lynda Hallinan provides practical
advice on how to design a vegetable garden.
“Tony Murrell introduces viewers to the concept of sustainability
and Heather Tait-Collins talks about the special Hebe Turkish
Delight.”
In episode two, Mr Mee says viewers will visit Taunton Gardens
at Governors Bay; head to the Christchurch Botanic Gardens
to meet with two young designers who have designed the city’s
exhibition garden for the Show; Lynda Hallinan will talk about
how to grow and pick flowers; while Tony Murrell will give
practical advice on composting.
“It is fantastic to be able to share with all New Zealand
the trials and tribulations of the designers as they prepare
for Ellerslie, in the build-up to Ellerslie in Christchurch’s
North Hagley Park from 11 to 15 March 2009.”
