Another Winter has passed us by here in Canberra and the warmer weather is just around the corner. The advent of Spring in Canberra brings Australia’s premium celebration of all things floral, Floriade 2016.
From 17 September to 16 October 2016 Floriade returns to Canberra.
Here are 5 must do’s this year:
Terrarium School with Moxom and Whitney
Our friends at Moxom and Whitney will be welcoming you to their sessions on the serious art of Terrariums. These little worlds in a glass bowl can be tailored to specific themes with no two terrariums ever the same. A series of classes will be available throughout Floriade.Dog’s Day Out
For one day only you can bring your pup to Floriade on Saturday, 15 October 2016. Dog’s Day Out will be supported by a series of ‘dog-centric’ themed presentations and demonstrations.NightFest
Returning again for the nights of Wednesday, 28 September to Sunday, 2 October 2016 NightFest presents its popular after-dark experience across five illuminated nights. A swathe of activities will excite and delight. Book those tickets HERECampbell 5, Spritzer Garden Party
