• Traveling to Holland in 1986, Gail attended "Masters' School" in Maastricht for 16 days with Cors Veldhus
  
  
• In 1987 she was invited to Australia to run a school for Interflora Australian Unit judges, updating modern marketing techniques and design.

From these years of experience and skill came the creation of Gail's 15-acre Tamahere property in 1981.

The prime object of the property is to grow, dry, market and export dried flowers. Drying facilities include heat-freeze drying to give a wider range of product, and color coordination.

Walkways, gardens, pools and a purpose-build restaurant and function centre catering for wedding, tours and functions, together with the historical church buildings that Gail had moved to the property, have made Tamahere a major tourist attraction in the Waikato.

The Church, built in the 1860s, has been lovingly restored for use in displaying and storing bunches of dried flowers.

Past president of the Waikato Chamber of Commerce and firmly committed to the Waikato, Gail Jones sees a booming future for the region.

She calls Hamilton the hub of industry for the Waikato, and she's positive that working in the area is a pleasure, not a chore, thanks to the life-style opportunities.
