Garden & Landscape Competitions

At the Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show, the gardening and floral industries set the standards in horticulture by bringing together new ideas and the very best plants, products and people with a rigorous commitment to quality.

Bigger and better than ever, the 2023 festival’s outdoor program will boast more than 50 enchanting garden displays across five categories.

The crowd-favourite Landscape Design Show Gardens will return with captivating horticultural displays alongside the Boutique Gardens with a clever collection of 5m x 5m designs from the nation’s top creatives. Over in the Achievable Gardens, budding horticulturalists will showcase a series of approachable gardening solutions using quality materials, and for urban gardeners the Balcony Gardens and Border Gardens will celebrate the changing nature of the Australian backyard. The Show is delighted to welcome back the Hanging Basket Competition, providing a platform for the entire gardening community to have their very own display at the Show.

Take part in this prestigious event and your business will be associated with the sustainability messaging, tradition, quality and all the excitement of a major event which enjoys strong national media attention.
