Option 3: Outdoor Retail Sites
These sites are Retail sites located within the Carlton Gardens and are identified by a dark blue, yellow, orange, aqua or green circle on the Show map. These sites have varying dimensions, please see the table below.
These sites are highly sought after so it is wise to get your Exhibitor Application Form submitted early if you are interested in exhibiting at the 2013 Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show.
The Retail Exhibitor will be defined by:
• Any business / person with a product that is extremely relevant to the horticultural industry.
• Any business / person selling goods, taking orders or promoting business services.
All Retail sites must meet a high standard of presentation and must incorporate plant or floral dressing within their presentation.
Retail sites located in the Carlton Gardens must undertake to provide protective flooring to ensure the grass immediately around and inside their site is covered where pedestrian traffic will be encountered, this includes leading into the front of the marquee or display.
The 2013 Show Map will be available here mid year for you to view the location of the various Retail sites within the Carlton Gardens.
There are five different types of Retail sites in the Carlton Gardens, please see the table below for site specifics.
