Bring the Gardens to your Table!

The award-winning Gardens Shop is proud to showcase its new GARDENS Table range of botanic inspired fine bone-china mugs.

The Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne is delighted to be producing the mugs in partnership with Maxwell & Williams.

The new range includes six new art nouveau style mugs and six new botanic art mugs featuring floral images of the Native Rose, Boronia serrulata;

Flannel flower, Actinotus helianthi; Native Fuschia, Epacris longiflora and the Large Christmas Bells, Blandfordia grandiflora.

The authentic botanical images on the mugs have been sourced from archival images held at the Royal Botanic Gardens, with some of these images dating back to the late 1700’s.

The GARDENS Table mugs, sold in fashionably designed boxes, are currently available for $9.95 each.

The Gardens Shop currently sells a range of exclusive branded products, everything from bed linen, chocolates, gift cards and stationery to umbrellas, and its very own produce range.

The branded products assist the Shop in gaining revenue, raising the profile and identity of the Gardens Shop and assist the Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne to advance the knowledge, conservation and enjoyment of plants.

The mugs are also available at 123 stores throughout Australia, such as  House, David Jones, Matchbox, Supply & Demand and other leading homeware stores.
