Over the years, the Waikato Home and Garden Show has been home to some unique and impressive exhibitions. There has been no more impressive exhibition than landscaping company Wild Exposure.
Designer and director Gary Bjerring runs Wild Exposure, a Waikato based landscape company that is renowned for adventurous landscapecreations and their designs, and their exhibition at this year's Home and Garden Show from Thursday to Sunday is no different.
"The exhibition this year will consist of a garden wetland, with one half representing the North Island and the other half representing the South Island and the city council is supplying the plants."
For Bjerring, every plant and type of wood he chooses has an underlying purpose.
"Every choice made is a deliberate one, from using redwood timber that's over 100 years old to the use of the plants," Bjerring said.

This style was on display back in 2011 when Wild Exposure had a display that took a glimpse inside the wild and prehistoric nature of the Waikato region. It had cascading streams and had reminders of the volcanic past in the Waikato region.
Bjerring's style has an emphasis on using the region's landscape for his exhibition.
"We use the Waikato as inspiration because it has been a part of our lives for so long," Bjerring said.
