ABOUT NEW ZEALAND FLOWERS WEEK

The week-long event will run from 20 to 26 November to encourage florists and New Zealanders to support the industry.

Five top florists from around New Zealand have been selected to showcase arrangements, displays and further reiterate the industry by emphasising the importance of locally grown.

Off the huge success of NZ’s inaugural Flowers Week last year, the National Flower Promotion Group (NFPG) is launching National New Zealand Flowers Week 2017, to celebrate locally grown flowers and highlight the importance of the industry’s contribution to culture and the economy.

Rebecca Jones from the NFPG says they hope to encourage growers, wholesalers, florists and Kiwis to get involved with Flowers Week and to become more passionate than ever about local and seasonal flowers.

Flowers are universally adored by everyone, and are one of the most popular gifts ever exchanged. They instantly beautify their immediate environment and uplift people’s mood. Internationally, the global floriculture industry and market is growing and it is important that New Zealand establishes itself in that market.

“Like other industries, the flower industry is not without its challenges however it’s important to note that New Zealand’s floriculture industry is a major source of production, employment and export” says Rebecca.
