What a brilliant way to kick off the October long weekend! We spent Saturday and some of Sunday at the Gnome Knoll at Floriade, trading our usual weekend attire for paint brushes and miniature garden friends.

Our mission was to help visitors, both young and old, bring their own gnome creations to vibrant life through colourful painting.

The energy and creativity on show throughout the day were nothing short of amazing. From gnomes sporting elaborate floral hats to those painted in rainbow tie-dye, the imagination of the Floriade crowds made the Knoll a buzzing hive of activity.

It was a joy to see so many people connect with a fun, hands-on activity and we were thrilled to contribute to the festive atmosphere of Floriade while creating lasting, colourful memories for every gnome painter who visited our station.
