Young Florist Apprentice of the year competition 2011

Following the devastating earthquake that struck Christchurch on Tuesday 22nd February 2011, the Ellerslie International Flower Show has been cancelled. On behalf of the FLONZI members and committee I thanks everyone for their messages of support and kind wishes to those affected in Christchurch by this tragic event. We pass our sympathies on to those who have lost loved ones, colleagues and friends, businesses, their homes and possession – and trust that the days ahead will become easier. All our wonderful sponsors, supporters, judges, helpers and competitors will be contacted individually. The work you have put in for 2011 will be built upon for 2012.
