Local floral designer Francine Thomas demonstrated her work at the World Flower Show earlier this year and received a standing ovation at the event.

The show was in Ireland and Francine is putting together a special show to take those with an interest in floral design back 'On Erin Shores'.

"The show will be a light-hearted journey back to Ireland, and tell the story of the history, landscape and people through floral design," she says.

Ten designs will be show-cased, fabulous lighting, dance, a comedy skit and a harpist will make the event as memorable as the actual trip.

Francine will also be showing a special koru design which she used to represent New Zealand at the world show, and which earned her the standing ovation.
