Overview

The Royal Botanic Garden Sydney, with its urban oasis scenery and immersive natural beauty, is one of the best places to find serenity in the heart of the city. Deep within this leafy green wonderland is The Calyx, a self-contained glasshouse with even more wonders to be found — including, during the August-exclusive return of Fleurs de Villes, the world-renowned floral art show behind exhibitions in Canada, the US, the UK and Australia.

From August 9—18, it's popping up with a new show, Fleurs de Villes VOYAGE, a celebration inspired by destinations around the world. The travel-themed exhibit features 15 unique fresh floral mannequins, each carefully crafted by Sydney's most talented floral designers.

Visitors will be taken on a floral journey of discovery, enjoying creations inspired by the likes of Morrocan souks, thrilling South African safaris, the beautiful Moulin Rogue in Paris and so much more. You have ten days to visit and take it all in before Fleurs de Villes VOYAGE bids us a fond adieu. Enjoy the exhibit plus the surrounding indoor glasshouse and the largest green wall in the Southern Hemisphere.

As well as enjoying the stunning floral creations, you'll be able to catch free botany talks and demonstrations from expert florists and horticulturists. Be sure to grab a bite to eat from the Leaf Dept. Cafe, still surrounded by floral splendour, and cast your vote for your favourite mannequin design.

Fleurs de Villes VOYAGE runs from Friday, August 9 to Sunday, August 18. For more information or to book your tickets, visit the website.
