The 32nd Canberra Flower Festival (Floriade) will be held in Canberra Federal Park (Commonwealth Park) from September 14 to October 13 on the theme "blooming World" (World in Bloom), and will set up indigenous flower beds for the first time.
The aboriginal flower garden is located in front of the Regatta Point parking lot at the entrance to the festival, where more than 6000 flowers will be planted. On the morning of June 13, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) staff in the (ACT) Public Service of the Capital District planted the last 1000 seedlings in Aboriginal flower beds.
Indesco, a consulting firm, is responsible for the horticultural design of the Flower Festival. Sadler (Scott Saddle), senior director of (National Arboretum Canberra) at the National Tree Garden in Canberra, an indigenous person, asked the organizers of the festival if they had a garden showing indigenous culture. After obtaining the permission, the national tree garden horticulturists Shawcross (Amalie Shawcross) and Berlito (Owen Bolitho) did the design of the indigenous flower garden.
The tulips, daffodils and violets in the garden represent the red, yellow and black colors on the indigenous flags. Banded blue hyacinth is planted in the garden, symbolizing the Murrumbidgee and Molongo rivers, which used to be important meeting places for indigenous pictures.
"Horticulturists want to show something people don`t know much about," Sadler said. "the project was inspired by a shield from an indigenous people who used to be used in wars and rituals in (National Museum of Australia), the Australian National Museum."
