She’s the Brisbane-born artist known for creating massive hype around the world, and now CJ Hendry is bringing her most vibrant pop-up yet to Melbourne. Yep, that's two times this year for those counting at home—Hendry's last Melbourne pop-up took over Chadstone for two weeks from May to April.

A take on her wildly popular Flower Market (which now has a brick-and-mortar store in SoHo following successful and immersive experiences around the globe) is heading on a 14-city global tour and naturally Melbourne has made the cut. The Flower Shop will return for a limited-time pop-up from 3 to 15 December, meaning you can stuff stockings with her signature oversized plush blooms this festive season.
The December pop-up will take over Botanicah Armadale at 917 High Street, Armadale. The Flower Shop will open from 10am to 6pm daily with a curated collection of blooms at $10 a pop, plus new inventory throughout it's run. Putting together your own bouquet is highly encouraged as every tenth stem you buy is free.

“Flower Market began as an effort to unite communities around a universally shared joy: flowers," CJ Hendry said. "By expanding into Flower Shop, the goal was to share that experience globally, allowing people across various cities to engage with and gather these tactile creations. Each locale possesses a distinct atmosphere, and I am thrilled that every temporary installation will feature unique floral variations, distinctive surprises, and a tailored narrative.”
Be warned though: people go gaga over Hendry pieces so lines and wait times are basically guaranteed, however if you’re willing to be patient, you can snag yourself colourful blooms that never fade—no watering required.
