Bulb & Spring Flower Showcase
At this super Instagrammable floral display, you’ll get a chance to see 5500 blooming tulips up close. It’s naturally a sight to behold but it doesn’t end there. Bulb expert and horticulturist, Mat Murray will be on-site at the showcase guiding you through the lovely display. Murray will bring a wealth of knowledge to the tour thanks to his extensive background in observing and studying bulbs growing in the wild in North Africa, the Mediterranean and Middle East.
There will be a special focus on the large variety of bulb displays at the garden. Take in the sights and scents of spring and beautify your socials with a burst of colour thanks to the Bulb & Spring Flower Showcase. Each session is 90-minutes long with a gorgeous sea of colour blanketing the entire premises. You won’t want to miss this one.
The fun doesn’t stop there. Another epic festival for nature lovers will take place just around the corner in Leura the following weekend. At the Leura Gardens Festival, you can enjoy a variety of cool-climate plants, striking deciduous trees and more.
