Now in its sixth year Floriade Community is back, the event encourages participation from community groups to extend Floriade across Canberra’s suburbs.
Eligible community groups and organisations are invited to apply now to participate in Floriade Community and bring their corner of the city to life with bursts of colour this spring.
The Floriade Community program will provide bulbs and annuals to successful applicants to plant and maintain in their local area, it provides an opportunity for local communities to come together and care for the gardens throughout Spring.
Locations must be visible to a number of Canberrans who can enjoy the blooms in their daily life and must cover an area of at least 10sqm. This may include garden beds, pots or wheelbarrows at local shops, schools, churches or community centres.
In 2024, Floriade Community distributed 300,000 bulbs and annuals to 102 community groups throughout the city, to supplement the one million blooms on display at Floriade in Commonwealth Park.
The ACT Government welcomes back Icon Water as a returning sponsor of Floriade Community in 2025.
Submit your application, along with any supporting documentation prior to 5pm on Thursday 3 April 2025.
