Boutique Garden Competition

A showpiece of the Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show, the Boutique Garden Competition will once again feature in the Carlton Gardens.

Entries for the 2025 Boutique Garden Competition are now open.

All submissions are due by 16th September 2024.

A panel of judges will decide finalists by 30th September 2024.

Managed by Landscaping Victoria (LV), this unique opportunity allows established and emerging landscape designers and architects to participate in the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show.

The Boutique Garden Competition offers up to five (5) finalists an opportunity to showcase their landscape design talents, push design boundaries, gain valuable industry experience, promote their business to the 100,000+ Show visitors, and capitalise on post-event publicity.

Each garden is 5m x 5m and represents each landscape garden designer, presenting an impactful outdoor space that wows visitors to the Show. The competition is popular with Show visitors and landscaping industry professionals, often reflecting the dream backyards of many modern Australians.

The Boutique Gardens Competition will profile up to five (5) installations at the 2025 Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show, held in Carlton Gardens from Wednesday, 26th March to Sunday, 30th March 2025.
