Discover the City Botanics Urban Pop-Up Garden – Now in Milford Shopping Centre!

 An inspiring garden experience for city dwellers with big dreams and small outdoor spaces.

Looking to bring some green into your life – even if you’re short on space? City Botanics Landscape Design has transformed the freshly opened wing of Milford Centre into a lush retreat with a limited-time pop-up garden installation.

Open daily | Saturday 7th June – Friday July 20th

Step into a beautifully curated garden space designed specifically for compact backyards. It’s more than just a pretty display – it’s proof that style, functionality, and lush greenery can coexist in even the tiniest city footprint.

“We want people to see what’s possible in a small space,” says Martin Steel-Brown, founder of City Botanics. “You don’t need a big acreage to have an outdoor sanctuary – just good design.”

About City Botanics
 City Botanics Landscape Design helps city dwellers turn underused outdoor nooks into refined, functional sanctuaries – from stylish balconies to leafy courtyards. It’s high-end design, scaled to fit your lifestyle.

Here’s what you’ll find on display in Milford Centre:

  • Lush greenery and smart, space-saving layout ideas
  • High quality finishes and real-world inspiration for your own outdoor space
  • City Botanics team members are on site every Tuesday and Saturday from 11am to 1pm to answer your design questions and talk about the installation.
  • An exclusive giveaway to win a custom garden design valued up to $2995! (T’s and C’s apply.)

HOW TO ENTER:

Stop by the pop-up garden and scan the QR code to enter the draw for a custom garden design valued at up to $2995 – tailored to your unique space.

Want extra chances to win?

Spend $30 or more per transaction at any participating Milford store and you’ll receive bonus entries – enter as many times as you like! (T&Cs apply.)

This pop-up experience is proudly brought to life in collaboration with a handful of City Botanics’ trusted suppliers: Living Culture pergolas, Modscene outdoor planters, Straightcurve corten steel edging, LMA Timbers reclaimed hardwood, and Poynters outdoor furniture. These premium elements are showcased throughout the installation, offering visitors tangible ideas for their own space.

Whether you’re a plant lover, design enthusiast, or just craving a little calm in the chaos, swing by the pop-up and get inspired.
