With the Public Health Emergency, the ACT Government decided to have a different kind of Floriade this year, and Canberra City Farm was lucky enough to be successful in getting 50 square metres of bulbs and plants to grow as our part of Floriade Reimagined. The following gallery tells the story of the work that has gone into the display outside our front fence. Christine VIncent has organised the team for this display. Thanks to the team as well – Deb Denehy, Carole Ayliffe, Virginia Proust, CIndy Steensby and others who lent a hand when it was needed. Thanks from everyone in the Farm community.
