Peter Donegan to design show garden for Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show 2023, the largest and most prestigious horticultural event in the Southern Hemisphere.
Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show, the largest horticultural event in the Southern Hemisphere located in the World Heritage Site of Carlton Gardens and The Royal Exhibition Building returns 29th March to 2nd April 2023.
Rated among the top five flower and garden shows in the world, it showcases only the finest calibre of garden design and landscape architecture talent selected from Australia and globally. This year Peter Donegan becomes the first Irish garden designer in the shows history invited and accepted to design a show garden at the prestigious show.
“We are a small but beautiful design office completing designs at the very highest level for the last 21 years, but it is always an honour and another humbling compliment when invited anywhere. On this occasion to one of the worlds best and a very beautiful part of Australia”, noted Donegan.
“We are delighted to be working alongside Victoria-based Semken Landscaping to realise this show garden”, continued design assistant Chloe Quinn. “Since 1987 Martin and his team have been show garden building and contracting at the highest level and are the most medalled contractor in the shows history”. continued design assistant Chloe Quinn
“MIFGS haven’t allowed us release designs just yet, but I can tell you it’s a contemporary vision of a love story and hearts separated via a small island off the coast of Galway to the mainland. That the build will take place during my second only ever St Patrick’s Day away from home in a particularly beautiful country that I’ve never been to is another always interesting journey. I wouldn’t have it any other way,” continued Donegan.
Peter Donegan Garden Design is an international and local garden design, landscape architecture and project management practice based in Dublin, Ireland.
2023 will see Peter Donegan become the first Irish Landscape Architect invited and accepted to design at Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show March 2023 – the largest flower show in Southern Hemisphere.
