Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show (MIFGS) 2013

After several years of show gardens dominated by hard landscaping and, drought tolerant plants, MIFGS 2013 heralded the return of flowers and vegetables into our backyards.  Keen gardeners and novices alike flocked to the Exhibitions Gardens to enjoy this new balance between architecture and nature.

Once again Merrywood were fortunate to have espaliers featured in some inspirational gardens.
