Horticulture Hall in Second Year of Success

If you’re interested in improving the cultivation of your plants and crops, Horticulture Hall is the place to be. There are 13 exhibitors advertising horticulture products, ranging from irrigation systems to natural insect repellents. This year the site spaces in Horticulture Hall are larger than last year’s, showing that the New Zealand horticulture industry continues to thrive, despite challenging economic conditions.

One of the first sites you will come across in Horticulture Hall is the Green Smart exhibit (Site HH2). The Green Smart team are selling self watering planting pots, which are organic, easy to use and require no weeding. Green Smart Director, Trish Barnett says, “The Green Smart Pot is perfect for growing vegetables and herbs in any space and is hassle free.” The Green Smart Pot was developed out of a growing need to combat the rising cost of living, ever tightening water restrictions and availability of healthy, fresh food.

In Horticulture Hall you will also find NovoZone (Site HH3), specialists in ozone for air and water purification are promoting their new Aqua 10N Irrigation System. NovoZone Managing Director Hans Holtz says “The irrigation system fits well with the NZ National Fieldays theme, Innovation for Future Profit as it is all about creating profitability for the future by ensuring the prevention of root diseases in crops.”
