The Aroid Society of Australia proudly presents

Floresta Collector’s Plant Market

A black background with white text reading 'FLORESTA' overlaid on various green jungle and houseplants, including a Monstera leaf, heart-shaped leaves, and ivy. The text is partially obscured by the plants, creating a layered visual effect.

The Aroid Society of Australia is proud to present Floresta (translating to “forest” in Portugese), a travelling plant fair celebrating the beauty of foliage, flowers, and all the people who love them.

This inaugural event was held on Saturday, February 1st 2025 in Brisbane at the Belmont Shooting Complex, with Melbourne up next on October 25-26 at the historic Coburg Town Hall.

Attendees experienced specialist vendors selling an amazing variety of plants and growing accessories, as well as sales from ASA members.

Thank you for joining us in Brisbane and Melbourne in 2025, and again in Brisbane in 2026. Where will we pop up next?
