Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show 2016

After five very busy but enjoyable days, the 2016 Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show drew to a close yesterday. The entire Ian Barker Gardens team were thrilled to receive a gold medal for our show garden ‘Reflection’ presented by Australian House & Garden, and thoroughly enjoyed the chance to chat to the public about the garden over the course of the show.
Thanks again to all our wonderful sponsors, our amazing construction team, and of course all the wonderful visitors to the show!
We will posting some images of the completed garden in the coming days, but in the meantime, take a look below at some special visitors we had to the garden during the show….

Comedian Joel Creasey visited the garden on Thursday morning and took a row around the lake.
