You can see why it's called Australia's biggest celebration of spring with more than a million
00:06
blooms right across Commonwealth Park ready for Floriade's opening day tomorrow.
00:12
For the Floriade horticulture team it's a project 12 months in the making and with plenty
00:16
of tulips still to emerge and warm weather forecast, visitors are sure of a floral spectacle
00:22
whenever they attend.
00:23
Our night time team will be out and about watering everything.
00:26
I think the warm conditions will favour a lot of our flowers and the tulips will just
00:31
need to keep the water up to them.
00:32
Organisers expect the sunny dry conditions forecast will also help this year's event
00:37
beat the 2019 visitor record of 507,000 people from Canberra and beyond.
00:43
And with a bigger program than ever including food, wine, market stalls, workshops, demonstrations
00:48
and live performances, Floriade Wonderland will likely generate more than $50 million
00:53
for the ACT economy.
