Botanix Plant Supply is again proud to have been plant suppliers to the Melbourne International Flower &Garden Show 2018.

Their plants were showcased in a number of show gardens, including the award-winning ‘Australian Case Study Garden’.

Designed by the team at Eckersley Garden Architecture, the garden took out the Best in Show, a Gold Medal and the prestigious Horticultural Media Association award for Best use of Plant Life.

The design team included former Botanix apprentice and employee Rupert Baynes-Williams who described the planting palette as “Neither native nor exotic, but a mongrel”.

Among this “mongrel” planting, Botanix supplied Hymenosporum flavum ‘Butterfly Scentz’, which was a favourite with the crowds and described by the designers as an interesting native alternative to Gardenia.

As always, Botanix were very pleased to assist a number of emerging designers in the Avenue of Achievable Gardens including the winning garden by Seam Lam, ‘State of Wonder’.  The Brachychiton rupestris looked wonderful among her dreamy perennial planting.
