MELBOURNE International Flower and Garden Show returns with bold new gardens, immersive floral installations and twilight experiences for all ages to enjoy later this month.
The five-day event features world-class landscape designs, floral displays, and workshops at the Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens in Melbourne between Wednesday, March 25, and Sunday, March 29.
As part of the show, Growers Avenue, presented by Dish the Dirt podcast, will feature Macedon Ranges growers and florists.
Bec Noble, host of Dish the Dirt podcast said: “This is about bringing a flower farm to the city. We are recreating the stories, the passion and the people behind the blooms, so visitors can connect directly with the growers themselves.”
“Across Australia, we are seeing a new wave of micro and regenerative flower farmers, many of them young families in regional communities, who are growing with sustainability and lifestyle at the heart of what they do. That’s something worth celebrating.”
Representatives and founder of the Macedon Ranges Flower Collective at the show include Erin Gray of Lombardy Farm, Liv Coutts of Pemberley of Malmsbury, Andrea Matthews of Malmsbury Flowers, Trudi Reilly of Fat Magpie Farm and Sarah Rogers of Bunch Farm.
A major new addition to the 2026 program is Wildplace Children’s Garden, an immersive play garden designed to reconnect children with the outdoors.
Additional highlights include the Balcony Garden Competition presented by Bunnings Warehouse, the Border Garden Competition presented by Yates and the Australian Unity Hanging Basket Competition, alongside the Challenger Achievable Gardens Competition showcasing 12 gardens by emerging landscape designers.
