Earthy, reclaimed and raw materials and fabulous foliage set the tone at the recent Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show (MIFGS). More than 111,000 visitors viewed designer gardens based on recycled and textured timbers, old bricks and rusted steel. Flowers were few and far between, while foliage tones edged from fresh greens to burgundy, copper and bronze. Join our tour, with H&G gardening expert Helen Young.
