Managed by Landscaping Victoria Master Landscapers (LVML), this unique opportunity provides established and emerging Landscape Designers and Landscape Architects to participate at The Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show. The Boutique Garden Competition offers up to five (5) finalists an opportunity to showcase their design talents, push design boundaries, gain valuable industry experience and promote their business to the 100,000+ visitors to the Show, as well as capitalise on post-event publicity.
Each garden will be 5x5m and should represent the intimate knowledge of the leading and emerging landscape garden designers in presenting a space that wows the visitors to the Show. The competition is at the forefront of minds of both Show visitors and professionals within the landscape industry and often reflects the dream backyards of many modern Australians.
Stay tuned for the release of the 2025 boutique garden designers to be announced at a later date.
