Orange Blossom Festival

The Hills Shire Council

In October 2013 The Hills Shire Council contacted Rent-A-Garden to help implement their main street transformation into a beautiful garden scene, for their annual Orange Blossom Festival, to be held in early September 2013.

The streetscape lacked mature plantings, so extra greenery was required to create a lush scene for locals to relax and enjoy the festival's stage acts, fun family games & range of food.

We supplied 2mH fruiting Cumquats and 1.4mH Citrus trees (all with a coverage of beautiful white spring blossoms). To help create more intimate spaces Ficus hedges, Ficus topiairies and Gardenia shrubs were placed to break up the street area, which was covered in Astro turf. Some plants were covered in fairy lights and mini orange lanterns to add to the effect.

The festival was blessed with gorgeous warm Spring weather, and the locals came out in masses to soak up the atmosphere.
