Some spectacular floral art pieces, some several metres high, went on display in Orewa recently.
The Auckland Area Designer of the Year competition, which was themed Coastal Capers, was hosted at the Orewa Baptist Church by the Hibiscus Coast Floral Art Club on December 1 and 2.
Floral artists came from around Auckland to take part and there were plenty of interested spectators through the doors when the displays opened to the public on the second day.
One of the Hibiscus Coast club’s members, Orewa gardener Angie Ng, won the Junior Award as well as the Colour Award – Angie was particularly pleased as it is the first time she has entered the competition.
Second in the Junior section was another member of the local club, Judy Gardner.
Hibiscus Coast Floral Art Club vice president, Gill Watt, says the ‘Junior’ category is not about age, but about whether or not you have won a Junior award previously.
The Auckland Designer of the Year title went to Lynne Causer of the Warkworth Floral Art Club.
