Covid-19 has shown Australia just how invaluable outdoor spaces are and, with Melbourne recently out of lockdown, people are eager to make the most of their time outside. Passionate about assisting the city with their recovery, wholesale nursery Botanix Plant Supply have provided Melbourne City Council with a range of plants in order to improve outdoor dining spaces.

Botanix Plant Supply have delivered a selection of native shrubs including Lemon Myrtle (Backhousia citriodora) Lilypilly (Acmena cv), Water Gum ( Tristaniopsis laurina ‘Luscious’) and Blueberry Ash ( Eleocarpus reticulatus ‘Prima Donna’) to the streets of Melbourne. The plants will grow and fill out the planters the city council have installed, along with the lower planters of a Box Hedge. Forming strategic borders around street parking, the plants will work to create additional outdoor dinning spaces.

During warmer months, outdoor dining will no doubt prove to be a popular alternative to crowded bars and restaurants, bringing a new feeling of excitement and fun to Melbourne’s streets. Botanix Plant supply show that it is possible to transform urban environments with garden rooms or parklets. This style could also translate to a residential or more private setting, offering a unique space for events or personal enjoyment.
