Stories in Bloom: A Growers Avenue Gathering

In the middle of a big show week, we wanted to create space to pause, connect and celebrate the people behind the flowers.

Stories in Bloom is a relaxed cocktail evening for those involved in Growers Avenue 2026, along with farmers and florists travelling to Melbourne for the Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show.

It’s a chance to meet face-to-face, put names to farms and flowers, share stories, and unwind together. We have Petrina Burrell and Nadine Brown joining us to speak and share moments throughout the evening, but this is not a formal program — it’s about community, conversation and connection.

Come for a drink, stay for a chat, eat well, and enjoy good company.
