 Auckland Nursery Trade Day

Auckland Autumn Trade Day took place on Wednesday 20 March at its new venue, the Life Convention Centre, 110 Montgomerie Rd, Mangere.

Click here to see some pictures from the show. These were taken at the end of set-up day, Tuesday. We have a full report in Comm Hort April-May issue, now available.

The show looked great in the new venue and many of the displays were outstanding.

As always, we hope for more visitor numbers but exhibitors pretty much unanimously reported a satisfactory return from the day and were universal in praise of the new venue.

The black ceiling and black-curtained walls of the building, the polished concrete floor and the fact that all stands came complete with black panelling, lifted the event to a new level of professionalism.

It was also pleasing to see a relatively large number of garden retailers from out of Auckland in attendance.

There was a strong social element to the event as well. Several exhibitors stayed back to chat and enjoy a complimentary glass of wine at the end of set-up day and some 40 came to the nearby Toby Jug tavern for drinks and dinner in the evening. Tables were seized from everywhere and put together so there was one big group with plenty of noise and laughter.

Date set for next Auckland Trade Day: 14 August 2013

Auckland Spring Trade Day this year will be on Wednesday 14 August, again at Life Convention Centre.

Check out the plan on this website to choose your stand then just give us a call to confirm its availability.

NZ Nursery Register 2012/13

The new 2012/13 edition of the NZ Nursery Register was published in November 12. The Register has become the Bible of the nursery industry. It carries a mass of detailed information about all companies and people in or associated with the garden industry in NZ. The listings are published free, which is why it is so comprehensive. Price is $75.90 incl GST and delivery within NZ.

You can order the NZ Register on this site (click here for options) or please phone 09 358 2749.

The Register is a fantastic place to advertise to reach the NZ garden industry. Many buyers make their copies last two or more years and the Register’s penetration is as high as 86% into some sectors.

You can order the Australian Registers on this site or please phone (09) 358 2749.

New editions of all Registers will be published in 2013
Advertising space is available – so if you’re targeting the trade in Australia the Registers are a great place to advertise because your message reaches people at the very moment they’re making a purchasing decision, or constantly as they fan through the book looking for a contact name or phone numbers.

The NSW/ACT edition was published in August 12 and the WA edition in September. The Vic-SA-Tas edition is scheduled for May 2013 and Qld in June.
