The new $4.6M Garden for the Future at Bendigo Botanic Gardens White Hills is nearing completion, with the laying of over 4,700m² of turf lawn.

The new turf and the planting of 30,000 trees and shrubs is finally bringing the garden to life.

Established during the golden age of post-war modernism, Marimekko is the Finnish textile and fashion company that achieved international fame in the 1960s and 70s with its bold screen prints and pop-art style graphics. Coinciding with the emerging liberation of women, the founding of Marimekko, or ‘Mary dress’ as the name literally translates, represented a pure concept; free from rules and constraints.

This exhibition traces Marimekko’s meteoric rise from the 1950s to the present, and explores the dualities that define its aesthetic. Its iconic fabric patterns and unconventional ready-to-wear outfits brought colour and informality to an otherwise self-conscious fashion world. With more than 60 outfits, swathes of original fabrics, homewares, sketches and other archival materials, the exhibition focuses on the work of the talented individuals who defined this local textile practice and created its internationally recognisable designs.

We are now taking accommodation bookings for this exciting new exhibition for those wanting to stay a little longer in Bendigo.

Excellent – very clean, quiet and a great location

Benstay was clean and quiet, and our little pug Barney was secure and comfy. The extra touches such as clean dog beds and sheets to cover furniture made you feel like pets really are welcome.
