Flower and Garden Show
Saturday, we spent the day in Carlton Gardens to see the annual Melbourne International Flower & Garden Festival.It's an event wherein horticulturists from around the world display their works -- flower arrangements, gardening tools & techniques, landscapes, etc.
It also highlighted different plants, shrubs and flowers that are popular in Australia such as tulips, hyacinth & daffodils.
The exhibit also featured unique designs by RMIT fashion arts students. This one is my favorite -- it's called Bun in the Oven (won first place), a mannequin dressed with dried leaves & twigs, apples & small flowers.
I also enjoyed looking at Jane Davenport's photography works which she named - Frogoly. Here's a cute one... a hanging froggie!
The festival included sculpture and arts exhibition too...
Funny is, people here are so fascinated with plants which are commonly grown in the Philippines like these Bougainvillea flowers.
Meanwhile, Lori enjoyed looking at the mascots roaming inside the park, like this tiger who endorses artificial turf to be used for lawn making to save water.
There was a bubble generating hut for the kids. It was fun to see Lori gazing curiously at the bubbles :)
Then, after a series of long walks, we took some rest and photo ops beside the pond and enjoyed watching the ducks & birds.
