Whether you’re building, renovating, decorating or furnishing you can’t afford to miss the 2012 Wellington Home and Garden Show, the largest home-related show in the region.

With over 220 exhibitors bringing their products and services from around New Zealand, free seminars, displays, workshops and competitions, organisers, Jade Promotions, are expecting 12,000 visitors to Westpac Stadium over September 21-23.

The show brings together under one roof all the latest trends in home construction, interior and garden design. As well as the stands of interesting products, experts will give free seminars on such topics as bathroom and kitchen design, and workshops offering tips for DIY enthusiasts. Visitors are encouraged to bring along their plans and specifications and talk with industry experts about turning them into a reality.

This year’s show has a dedicated section for garden products and services and the feature gardens, including bio diversity and edible gardening options, and displays from local garden groups, will be among the highlights of the show.

  • Making housing affordable 27/03/2013 10:06:00 a.m. With home ownership rates falling and many struggling to play higher rental costs, making housing affordable has risen to the top of the political agenda.
    Joel Pringle, campaign manager for Australians for Affordable Housing, and Charles Waldegrave, from the Family Centre, will address a meeting as part of a public discussion on housing at Thistle Hall on April 8.
    Waldegrave will look at the human faces of housing unaffordability while Pringle will suggest ways to build public support for affordable housing policies in New Zealand.
  • Food to the rescue 27/03/2013 10:06:00 a.m.
    Food rescue organisation, Kaibosh, has been named supreme winner at the TrustPower National Community Awards.
    The Wellington based service group collaborates with food retailers and producers to rescue surplus food that is good enough to eat, but not good enough to sell, preventing it from being discarded into landfills.
    Since its inception in 2008 Kaibosh has rescued over 285,000 meals – that’s 100 tonnes of food redistributed to where it’s needed most.
