Last week, Neutrog Brand Ambassador Helen was on the ground at the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show (MIFGS), catching up with some of the best in the business.

Widely regarded as the Southern Hemisphere’s largest and most prestigious horticultural event, MIFGS is a celebration of gardening excellence, attracting exhibitors, industry leaders, and garden enthusiasts from across Australia and beyond. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens, the show brings together world-class landscape designers, floral artists, and plant specialists to showcase the latest trends, innovations, and timeless gardening inspiration.

Helen had the opportunity to connect with key figures from across the industry, including David Austin Roses UK and RIAS, as well as members of the Rose Society of VIC and the Australian Plant Society Victoria. She also caught up with representatives from garden centres, plant growers, horticultural media, and industry associations -each playing a vital role in shaping the future of gardening in Australia. These conversations provided valuable insights into emerging trends, plant breeding advancements, and the latest sustainable gardening practices.

There were an array of landscape design show gardens, innovative floral displays and installations crafted by top horticultural talent. The show was a gateway to the latest trends in gardening and outdoor living, with some impressive designs showing what can be achieved in small spaces.
