What a great weekend break... a three hour drive to Canberra to catch the tail-end of Floriade (the biggest flower festival in the Australia). Literally awash with colour and energy featuring tulips, poppies, pansies and pentunias (and more!) flourishing in the cool air. Set amongst serene lakes and established gardens, the festival certainly reflected this year's theme of Mind, Body and Soul. Makes me want to grow a green thumb and get creative in my own garden
