Don't miss the floral event of the year!

Join us from Friday 31st May – Sunday 9th June at the world-renowned Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh for the UK premiere of Fleurs de Villes ARTISTE – a spectacular new floral exhibition celebrating Scotland’s remarkable art and the nation’s much loved artists, all created by talented local florists.

Wander through a beautiful indoor pavilion featuring a curated collection of 15 of Fleurs de Villes' famous fresh floral mannequins, inspired by Scotland’s iconic artists, from Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Robert Burns, to Annie Lennox, Billy Connolly and Alexander McQueen.

Watch floral demos and talks from local florists while admiring the floral masterpieces, then make your way to the historic Inverleith House to explore captivating rooms adorned with exquisite ARTISTE-themed floral displays.

Be sure to visit our new Fleurs de Villes Tea Salon in Inverleith house for an indulgent cream tea, or visit the Terrace Cafe to enjoy a scrumptious afternoon tea or picnic on the lawn. For an enchanting evening of beautiful floral artistry accompanied by a live DJ performance and a floral-inspired drinks menu, join us for Le Soir, available exclusively on Friday May 31st May, starting at 6:30pm.
