Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show 2018 - Info - Melbourne
Take the family to this year's Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show from Wednesday 21st to Sunday 25th March 2018.
Our last visit was back in 2015, we loved it so much and still have fond memories of the day so we thought we'd share some pics.

Architecturally designed cubby houses, floral wonderlands, roving live entertainment, face painting, kids' activities and hands-on gardening workshops; the countdown is on for mini gardening gurus and floral friends!
Kids are encouraged to get their hands dirty in the worm farm and veggie patches as part of The Diggers Club 40th anniversary celebration. Enjoy workshops on beekeeping and building chook sheds amongst the abundance of heirloom fruits, plants, vegetables and the iconic gardening club’s beloved pumpkin installation.
Enhance or complete your garden with the fantastic choice of plants, flowers, products and more from retail exhibitors.
