FUTURE FLOWERING 2026

In 2026, Cecilia Fox created the first FUTURE flowering, an event with it’s roots in Flowering NOW, with no commercial demands and a completely open brief. Melanie curated 10 florists and floral artists from around Aotearoa to exhibit work within Silo 6, bringing the magic of flowers to the public. We held workshops and community floral interventions.
