Plant Futures 〰️ A floral wonderland at the Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show
This one stopped us in our tracks.

Designed to delight and captivate, the garden shows that resilient and tolerant plants can also be beautiful — and ultimately the perfect solution for bringing diverse and robust green spaces into our cities.
“Resilience is no compromise on beauty. Through wonder and real-life experience, this garden will lead both the audience and industry to the climate-forward possibilities of plants and progressive planting design.”
— Jac Semmler, Super Bloom
