‘ENGARDENING’ BY LOCAL GARDEN DESIGNER, ANN TEO REIMAGINES A TROPICAL GARDEN WITH EDIBLE LANDSCAPES

‘Engardening’ captured the attention of visitors and received the People’s Choice Award.

A total of 39 displays were in the running for the People’s Choice Award. These included competitive garden and floral displays created by professional international and local designers across the Best of Show Designer Gardens Competition and Balcony Gardens Competition, as well as Floral Windows to the World Championship at Level 6 and the Floral Table-Top Competition at Level 4.
