Gift Guide for the Holiday Season

What better gift to give than an unforgettable day out with friends and family at the Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show? We’ve bundled together a High Tea pass and a ticket to the show – the perfect gift, just in time for Christmas. Our talented team of chefs have designed a beautifully crafted menu, to be paired with a pot of tea, cup of freshly ground coffee or a glass of sparkling wine as you absorb the beauty of the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show in a peaceful secluded area.

If you don’t fancy a spot of tea at the Show, we’ve put together our own list of gift ideas for your family and friends.
