Attention Chocolate Lovers! We have something very exciting to share with you!
Each year Australia’s original chocolate bouquet company, Edible Blooms focuses on one main charitable activity, and this year as part of their special 10 year Birthday Celebrations, they embark on the grand journey to bring every chocolate lover and child’s dream to life.
Announcing The Edible Blooms Chocolate Garden!
![EdibleBlooms_ChocGarden_HR[1]](https://mumcentral.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/EdibleBlooms_ChocGarden_HR1.jpg "The Edible Blooms Chocolate Garden is a Chocolate Lover's Paradise ... Come Explore It With Us! 3")
Partnering with chocolate icons Chocolatier and Lindt and local artisans Bracegirdles, The Chocolate Garden has been cleverly and artistically designed by one of Australia’s most renowned gardening experts; Sophie Thompson.
Well known South Australian Gardening Presenter, from Sophie’s Patch, Sophie has vast knowledge and experience in the world of horticulture plus a wonderful imagination, making her the obvious choice for such a unique task.
This world first attraction is an inspired 10m x 6m garden design, which we’re sure will leave all visitors, children and adults alike, wide–eyed and drooling..!
Accessed via a chocolate freckle walkway with candy cane fences weaving its way through the centre of the garden, the path will be lined with a row of Lindt chocolate hedges, with a liquid chocolate pond and a blooming Rainbow tree featured along the way.
There will be some cheeky choccie visitors on display and some shrubbery with unique flowers and fruit trees with particularly special fruits! A chocolate fountain, chocolate fairy tree and fairy houses will send chocoholics crazy!
And finally, the spectacularly colourful rainbow will be the highlight of one entire wall, but what will you find at the end of it??
Well… you’re invited to come and visit to find out!
Discover the wonders of this world of fantasy while supporting the children focus charity the Cora Barclay Centre via a gold coin entry fee donation.
The Cora Barclay Centre helps children who are deaf or hearing impaired, learn to speak and reach their full potential. This is achieved through a family-centred practice and professional expertise in Auditory-Verbal Therapy (AVT).

My daughter Ebony is the biggest Chocolate fan in our house, followed closely by me! If we won a Golden ticket we’d bloom like Charlie in an Edible Bloom Wonkaesque world! We’d be beyond happy!!! Pure Edible Bloom glee!!! 🙂
What amazing work for a great cause. Looking forward to seeing the amazing chocolate artwork. Kellie from Edible Blooms has come a long way since I’ve known her. Well done!
Would love this. My daughter is hearing impaired and has weekly avt sessions with cora barclay. And we loveeee chocolate of course! This is an amazing thing for a great cause!
My mum is the biggest chocolate fan in our house (i have been offered chocolate, and then denied the chocolate after mum realised it was the last in the box) followed by boyfriend who is a regular chocolate fan then me. Being a fellow hearing impaired person I love so much that this goes to such a wonderful charity. Xx
The biggest chocolate fan in our house has to be hubby. Leave a piece of chocolate under his nose and I swear he will just snort it up, no hands needed!
My partner, Adam. He sniffs out hidden chocolate in the cupboard like a pig snuffling truffles! Milk, dark, white – he’s not fussy; just obsessed. Sophie is his fave garden guru too 😉
I am the biggest chocolate fan in my house. I have been called a Hoover when it comes to chocolate!
I am a chocoholic and love Charlie and the chocolate factory – sounds a bit like that 🙂
Me, I hide my stash so I don’t have to share!
Biggest Chocoholic would be MEEE love love the stuff
Me of course, my favourite though is dark chocolate.
I think I would die a happy death after visiting this place lol
Me, lucky my kids share the chocolate they get in lolly bags with me!
Me! I love chocolate the most-est!
With the taste of chocolate on show – The whole family (and the dog 🙁 ) is aglow!
I’m definitely the biggest chocolate fan in my family!If there’s chocolate hidden anywhere in the house I don’t give up until it’s found!
Great family fun and chocholate too
My 12 year old daughter !!!! With her dad a close second …. She can smell it out at 50 metres !! Along with our pug ! Lol … We have to hide it from him
Me!!! Cant keep it away theres always a secret emergency stack hidden in the house
I hide it from my hubyy an kids. Does that make it me
I’m the one that eats the most chocolate in my house
My son is the biggest chocoholic in our house. Chocolate never lasts long if he sees it!
She doesn’t live with me but my step mum is the biggest chocolate love I have ever known. Her face lights up when ever their is chocolate and when she eats it all, when their is none left she is still happy lol.
My Mum is a chocolate snob. She only buys the expensive stuff and when presented with inferior chocolate she says, “Why would I want to waste my calories on that?!” Picky, picky!!
My nan… it has to be a certain type from a certain place or she just sighs and gives you a look that makes you feel like you have kicked a puppy
my husband….he is all about quality v quantity. He eats the “good stuff”, Lindt/Haighs etc but will stop at one square!!!!
OMG!!!!! its me :0 every night I sneak chocolate and if I ever get to have some expensive stuff a gift or when out its as good as a good night in the sack!!! if I don’t have any in the house I have withdrawals :{
I am , love my chocolate in everything, cake, biscuits, hot chocolate, melted chocolate or on it’s own.
chocolate yum!!
I’d like to say that it’s me but really – have you seen a 4 year old’s capacity to enjoy (and eat!) chocolate?!
My 3 children are chocolate lovers! This would be their dream…
My eight year old son is a huge chocolate fan! He would love this walk-through experience!
3 chocolate monster children in our home…all their dreams would come true!
My nephew Jayden has only to walk in the front gate and he will smell that there is chocolate in the house – followed closely by his poppa
Nobody in my family holds a candle to my 10 year old niece. She is an absolute chocolate fiend! In fact, when she was little she would often fall asleep in the car and it was very difficult to wake her up (she wouldn’t even respond to her own name which was repeated multiple times). I eventually found the quickest/easiest way to wake her was to say the word “chocolate”. Her eyes would snap open and she’d look around to see where the chocolate was. It was hilarious!
ME I have real trouble when I go on a diet. So I try to go for Dark Chilli so I don’t eat so much.
Me! I will eat anything covered in chocolate!
My son loves chocolate. For example tonight knew there was a box of chocolates in the cupboard and every hour I heard of different reasons why he should get some, or maybe I would like some and he could try some. His favourite colour is brown because it reminds him of chocolate.
Has to be me in our family followed very closely by our three year old daughter and Bracegirdles is one of the best chocolate makers
Definitely my wife, she loves finely made chocolate
My husband, he loves chocolate anything
Our youngest loves the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! He would be fascinated by this AND it’s his birthday in Oct 1st.
