sustainability
The Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show is committed to sustainability, introducing several initiatives to minimize its environmental impact.
We discourage the use of floral foam in displays, promoting eco-friendly alternatives to help preserve our ecosystems. Additionally, we have adopted digital show maps to reduce printed materials, thereby lessening landfill waste. These steps reflect our dedication to creating a greener, more sustainable show for all to enjoy.
