"Set across two days in spring, our magnificent Botanic Gardens will be a buzzing atmosphere filled with beautiful spring blooms, stunning floral and garden designs and interactive spaces you can touch, smell, eat and explore with friends and family.

"Enjoy delicious food and wine, music from local and featured artists, roving bugs and flowers that intrigue and delight."

The Botanic Gardens were opened in 1877 and each year attract 300,000 people, according to the council.

Gardenesque is still in the development stages with the event hoped to attract to 10,000 people in its first year.
