Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show
One of the top five flower shows in the
world returns to Melbourne with the Melbourne International Flower &
Garden Show that is one of the largest horticultural events in the
Southern Hemisphere. Impulse Gamer were given the opportunity to visit
this packed exhibition on Saturday that left quite a positive gardening
experience. Needless to say, we wanted to go home and make our gardens
even better!

The exhibition itself is broken into three
main
areas that include retail exhibits, floral design and landscape gardens.
The first part of the show is inside the Royal Exhibition Building
itself that contained some amazing flower displays from around Australia
and the winners of the Advanced Student Competition. Those who love
floral designs will be gobsmacked by some of the amazing floral
displays. Flowers can even be purchased for your home such as roses and
orchids.

Outside in the gardens is where budding
gardeners and landscapes can see some detailed landscape designs and the
opportunity to purchase a variety of gardens items and plants.

One of
the main sponsors for the Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show,
Jenny Craig had their own stall which promoted healthy eating from the
garden plus live cooking from some of Australia's top chefs. Garnier was
also present, offering those who attended the chance for either a
massage or facial for a gold coin donation to promote natural, healthy
beauty. Garnier are one of the few companies that only use natural
products for their beauty products.

From amazing landscaped gardens to Home &
Garden celebrities such as Don Bourke and even a children's garden, the
Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show provided something for the
entire family. The highlights for Impulse Gamer were the Cloud 9 Deluxe
Hanging Chairs which allow people to enjoy their gardens from either
under a tree or pergola as they swing, relax and enjoy their garden.
Other highlights included the details and sometimes simplistic
landscapes and the highly elaborate floral displays inside the main
building.

Final Thoughts
If you enjoy gardening and all facets that
come with it, than I strongly suggest that you put this exhibition on
your calendar for 2013. The only downside (which could not be helped)
was the amount of people attending the exhibition which sometimes made
seeing something a touch challenging. Nonetheless, it was a fascinating
and informative day.
