'Sweet Addiction' is the first exhibition to open in '
The Calyx', a world-class horticultural exhibition space at The
Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney. I have been planning to visit for some time, but only did so this week. The exhibition which opened last year, closed on 17th April 2017
The indoor exhibition space features a huge curved green wall covered with over 18,000 plants.
Rain forest plants such as this flowering plant, are in the garden beds on the floor.
'The story begins in the depths of a tropical rain forest, and takes
visitors on a journey through chocolate plantations and the ingredients that go into chocolate making'
A self-guided audio tour is include.
