Each installation interprets a different wonder of the natural world through intricate floral design, from iconic landscapes and rare ecosystems to botanical marvels and natural phenomena. Highlights include a giant floral octopus inspired by the Great Barrier Reef, a striking beehive installation presented by Amica Kerrisdale External website, opens in new tab, and other nature-inspired displays throughout the Garden.
