More than 20 of Australia's leading floral creatives will come together for Art of Bloom, a showcase at the National Gallery of Victoria that celebrates the intersection of art and floristry.

Industry veterans like Tracey Deep and Flowers Vasette will present floral displays alongside newcomers like Kayla Moon of xxflos and Alyssa Trenerry of Sour Sunflower in response to artworks within the gallery's collection.

Hosted by the NGV Women's Association, all proceeds from the gala raffle and ticket sales will go towards the acquisition of art at the NGV. Ahead of Art of Bloom, which opens on May 3, RUSSH spoke with a handful of florists participating in the exhibition about their individual ethos, the flowers and foliage they're currently drawn to, and what's inspiring their practice right now.
