We enjoy a day packed full of breathtaking gardens as we journey to the main event, Floriade! While here you will have free time to explore the stunning Commonwealth Park. This is Australia’s biggest celebration of spring, occurring annually these displays have a lot of thought and work put into them to create a different arrangement each year. The curated displays of intricately placed bulbs bring a glorious beauty to Commonwealth Park. While here you will have free time to explore the stunning park. We then move along to Tulip Top Garden for lunch and a tour. This picturesque garden has 5 stars on Trip Advisor and for good reason. It is located in a tranquil setting among hills and alongside a small stream, you will find thousands of tulips with each garden bed marked with names of the flowers and stunning trees in full blossom. Cockington Green Gardens is our next stop. Here we find an intriguing and beautiful park containing a miniature village set against luscious flora.
