Anyone seeking inspiration for updating their domestic décor and who prefers to see products ‘in the flesh’, instead of merely on-screen, has plenty of choice when it comes to home and living shows in the Auckland region.There are three major events this year, two covering everything from construction to interior design and gardens, and one where the emphasis is more on sustainable living.Go Green ExpoFirst up is the Go Green Expo sustainable lifestyle show, which takes place at the Eventfinda Stadium in Wairau Valley on the North Shore on Saturday and Sunday, April 5 and 6, from 10am each day.
Although the show has a broad focus, organisers say there will be plenty of exhibitors in the eco-building, healthy home, gardening, and home and living categories. Products on display will include furniture, bedding, home décor, cookware, plants, greenhouses and pest control, together with a wide range of food, drink, health and beauty options.Online tickets were free as Mahurangi Matters went to press – check the link below for updates.
