In February 2024, we announced our new three year partnership with the prestigious Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show presented by Scotts, the southern hemisphere’s largest horticultural event. The show welcomes over 100,000 visitors each year to the heritage-listed Carlton Gardens and Royal Exhibition Building.
The Challenger Achievable Gardens
Designed by Charlie Albone
Challenger is the exclusive Presenting Partner of the Achievable Gardens, a competition which offers students and educational institutions a unique opportunity to showcase their design skills and horticultural knowledge.
Acclaimed landscape designer, and television personality Charlie Albone will be designing the feature garden display within the Achievable Gardens.
“My inspiration and concept for designing Challenger’s Achievable Gardens is the journey of life of their customers. I wanted to instil a sense of confidence, stability and longevity to associate with the Challenger brand when people enter the garden. We ask visitors to walk through the garden, draw innovation from innovative plant use and upcycled materials, and finish in the relaxed garden space.“
