Better Home and Living Show

2-4 May 2014

Friday & Saturday 10am- 6pm Sunday 10am-5pm

It is that time of year again when Verdant will be at the Better Home & Living Show.  The show on at Westpac Stadium just gets better every year. It is a lifestyle show that covers not just ideas for your home, but better ways to garden and better ways to live in our community. 

Entry is $8 or for a 2 for 1 ticket – download this invite

You can also check out the full range of fabrics from our sister business Vida Textiles; Where we have been working with two Wellington Designers to produce some gorgeous digitally printed organic cotton and hemp fabrics. We will be showcasing five new fabrics from two Wellington Designers; Tracey Tishrei of Tishrei Designs & Anthea Grob of Eco Fabric. 

Both Designers are not only inspired by nature, but protecting the environment is behind the whole ethos of their work.; Which fits perfectly with both Vida and Verdants philosophy as well.

You may recognize the Godwits fabric, from a couple of years ago. We have finally managed to do two new batches. One on 100% Hemp- perfect for upholstery and the other batch on Hemp % Organic Cotton - a lighter weight perfect for lightshades, curtains, cushions and anything else you can think of! 

Anthea has also designed the beautiful Olearia fabric, based on the curl of the leaf of the Olearia tree.

Tracey has produced two stunning designs on the organic fabrics. Butterflies and Seaweed. 

We will also have some stock of the Sleep Frog Organic Cotton Bedding fabric available to purchase and take away on the days of the show.

If you are unable to make it to the show, our Open Studio on a Wednesday will re start on May the 7th.

Otherwise we hope to see you at the show.
