Editor's Note and President's Letter

"Creativity takes courage." - Henri Matisse

President’s Message

I’m writing as we all prepare for MIFGS 2025 - the same efforts to get everything just right and to keep our colleague’s work in sync with our own. And as we work on MIFGS we are all aware that the work will be subtly different when we come to work on the Annual & Awards Exhibition in a few months time.

And I am looking forward to seeing the diversity of media and ideas that 72 sculptors bring to the public at the Flower & Garden Show. We have visitors returning every year to be inspired, to enjoy and quite often to buy. The 100,000 visitors will usually deliver us people who love our work that much - a welcome reward for the effort, skill and ideas you put into your work. Images will be online here https://sculptorsvictoria.asn.au/virtual-exhibition/2025-melbourne-international-flower-garden-show/ once the Show begins.
