New Zealand Experts to Feature at Show

One of the attractions at this year's RHS Show at Tatton Park will be the a&a Roadshow, featuring Ann Gamble and Ann Nicholas - "The Two Anns" - two of New Zealand's leading container gardeners. The two Anns will be demonstrating their skills three times a day as part of the Roadshow's rolling programme of demonstrations, competitions, talks and advice sessions in the 100 seat a&a Roadshow Pavilion.

Back in New Zealand, Ann Gamble and Ann Nicholas have been heavily involved as both exhibitors and judges in the Ellerslie Flower Show, the largest floral exhibition in the Southern Hemisphere held over five days in Auckland's Regional Botanic Gardens, and their work is often featured in both gardening and lifestyle magazines in both New Zealand and Australia. This is their fourth trip to the UK, having toured nearly fifty garden centres throughout the country with their Roadshow on their previous visits.

The a&a Roadshow has been organised by Warbreck International, and made possible by support from the following four major sponsors:

LC Solutions
Gem Gardening
Green Bear Co
Mr Fothergill's Seeds
