Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show 2023

The Welcome Garden offers visitors a tranquil retreat to unwind, plan their day at the show, and engage in various talks and tours led by top designers and growers throughout the event's duration.

​

Designed for Scotts by Jason Hodges in collaboration with Breana Graham Landscape Architecture, the Welcome Garden embodies the essence of the modern Australian backyard. It serves as a sanctuary, inviting every visitor to envision elements that could enhance their own outdoor spaces in an achievable manner.

​

Characterised by simplicity and ease of maintenance for the time poor population of today, the 2023 Welcome Garden provides a relaxed atmosphere with a strong focus on color and texture. Patterned pathways lead through lush green lawns, fostering a direct connection with nature. Linear elements intersect with circular motifs, guiding visitors towards the rear seating area, which is designed to accommodate individuals, couples, families, and groups alike—a true welcoming space for all attendees.
