Across five weeks visitors will be able to immerse themselves in a full display of gorgeous autumn flowers across an area around one and a half times the size of the MCG.

Think brilliant blue salvias, hot pink calibrachoas, delightful dahlias, towering sunflowers, magical marigolds, popular poppies, stunning snapdragons, charming cleomes, darling delphiniums, heavenly hollyhocks, dazzling dianthus and many more.
Paul Tesselaar, a third-generation flower farmer, shared: “It is amazing to continue the family tradition and bring the beauty of the blooms to people twice a year. There is nothing else like it in Australia and it is wonderful to see the smiles on people’s faces as they immerse themselves in nature”.
Make it a day trip and pack a picnic or grab a quick bite from the selection of local and international food trucks on site. There will also be live entertainment, the KaBloom characters, including Flower Fairies, Teague the Storyteller and more.
