Official Charity

Beyond Blue is proud to be the official charity partner for the 2024 Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show. We want to encourage all children and their families to be not only physically healthy, but mentally healthy. Getting outside into nature, nourishing your mind and body is a great way to do this. We have a range of activities that encourage mindfulness, curiosity and learning about where our food comes from. We would love people of all ages to come visit us at site B58 and get involved in the many fun interactive activities we will have set up throughout the five days.

Start the day with a mindfulness session run by Wayapa Wuurrk. Sessions at 10am, 10.30am, 11am and 11.30am (Wednesday – Friday)

Have a ball with natives and create a seed ball with Ceres. You’ll learn more about the importance of biodiversity whilst getting your hands dirty. Sessions at 12pm, 12.45pm and 1.30pm. (Wednesday – Friday)

Come along to our exclusive paint and sip night on Friday evening and create your own pot to take home whilst enjoying a non-alcoholic cocktail with us
Dig for veggies in our pop-up veggie garden and learn more about where your food comes from (all day, Wednesday – Sunday)

Beyond Blue are giving people the confidence to support those around them, and making anxiety, depression and suicide part of everyday conversations. As well as tackling stigma, prejudice and discrimination, they’re breaking down the barriers that prevent people from speaking up and reaching out.  Beyond Blue’s Healthy Families program gives parents, grandparents and carers information to support the children and young people in their life. It’s also there to help them to take care of their own mental health and wellbeing.
