Take home a little piece of the Floriade magic!
Each year, The Great Big Bulb Dig marks the much-loved finale of the Floriade season, giving visitors the chance to take home a little piece of the magic from Commonwealth Park.
Held the day after Floriade closes, this unique event sees thousands of visitors return to the gardens to dig up and collect bulbs and annuals from the display beds, ready to replant and enjoy at home. It’s a vibrant, community-driven tradition and a memorable way to farewell another spectacular season of blooms.
