Mudgeeraba, Australia - October 9, 2023 /PressCable/ —

Sam Kennedy, director of Meadow Flowers Australia said this when interviewed by Eleven Media, “We are proud to be assisting home and business owners, as well as the council of Greater Dandenong, to plant verses with wildflowers. In 2023, healthier landscapes are so important in light of the impacts of planted green areas on climate change. Not to mention flowers providing the foundation for life with abundant flower pollen for local bees.”

The planting of nature strips & street verges create not only healthy and sustainable landscapes, but the delight of these flower displays to passing vehicle traffic and pedestrians is well documented. Meadow Flowers report interest is growing strongly from councils and homeowners across Australia, as people see the benefits and want to support the cause in their own locality. One unseen benefit is less mowing being needed leading to it being not only a cost saving but safer for council employees and homeowners alike.

“Enriching lives through working with nature and plant conservation is something we all should embrace. Not only does it assist filter vehicle pollution, but provides habitat and food for insects, birds and bees. It also cannot be underestimated how these planted areas help promote human health and wellbeing.” Said Sam Kennedy

Meadow flowers works closely with Hydroseeding Australia. They are specialists at spraying verge embankments with a treatment that creates a protective barrier with embedded grass seed in it. This minimises soil loss from rain and wind erosion. The benefits of hydroseeding are many, including efficiency of placement in difficult verge terrain applications.

Meadow Flowers is pleased to have been associated with planting their wildflowers in many of the locations they have successfully grassed. One of which was the creation of a wildflower meadow at Woodcroft’s Robert Wright Park for The City of Onkaparinga in South Australia. The area was hydroseeded and The City of Onkaparinga purchased some of Meadow Flowers wildflower seed mixes to create a more feasible (cost-effective) and beautiful ‘wilderness’ option in contrast to a conventional lawn at the park.

Puregold Hakot Relay draws 4,000 runners

Puregold Hakot Relay draws 4,000 runners

More than 4,000 runners gathered at Vermosa Sports Hub in Imus, Cavite, for the South Luzon leg of Puregold’s Hakot Relay, which introduced a new 8K Individual Challenge alongside the event’s signature grocery-themed relay.  The South Luzon leg marked the first time the Hakot Relay featured an individual 8-km race, giving solo runners a chance to take on a longer course while maintaining the event’s signature grocery “hakot” concept.  About 500 participants joined the 8K Individual Challenge, while the rest competed in the traditional Hakot Relay, where runners formed teams and raced through the course while collecting grocery items along the way.  Unlike the relay, which required teamwork and strategy, the 8K challenge tested participants individually as they completed the full distance on their own.   “We wanted to offer runners a fresh and enjoyable way to challenge themselves, with the ‘hakot’ mechanic adding a playful and uniquely Puregold twist to the race. Being part of the running community is meaningful to us, and it is a privilege for Puregold to bring people together for a shared panalo experience,” said Ivy Hayagan-Piedad, Puregold senior marketing manager.  The event began with a pre-race warm-up before participants headed to the starting line. Runners then completed their respective courses within the prescribed cut-off times.  After crossing the finish line, participants received their race-day rewards and visited sampling booths featuring participating brands. Sponsor-led activities and an awarding ceremony followed the races.  The team relay participants received a Grocery Sling Bag and a Finisher’s Grocery Bag. Meanwhile, 8K Individual Challenge finishers received a distinct reward that matched the event’s grocery-themed concept: a finisher’s grocery cart wagon to carry their loot home.  “We’re always looking for ways to level up the Hakot Relay and give Filipinos something new to look forward to. This year, it meant introducing our first-ever 8K challenge and bringing the experience to an even bigger scale,” Piedad said.   With more than 4,000 runners participating as teams or individual competitors, the South Luzon leg expanded the Hakot Relay format while retaining its signature reward, allowing participants to race to the finish line and take home groceries.

Alicia Keys, Gigi Hadid and Jennifer Lopez bring star power to Vogue World in Milan

Alicia Keys, Gigi Hadid and Jennifer Lopez bring star power to Vogue World in Milan

MILAN — Most of Italy’s fashion elite gathered under one roof Tuesday for Vogue’s annual fashion spectacle in the historic Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II shopping arcade, featuring performances by Alicia Keys and Italian ballet star Roberto Bolle. Part runway show, part cultural performance, this year’s Vogue World highlighted Italian craftsmanship and human creativity in the age of artificial intelligence. Donatella Versace sat alongside Gucci's Demna, Balenciaga's Pierpaolo Piccioli and Valentino's Alessandro Michele – the latter three having recently completed a game of fashion house musical chairs. Miuccia Prada, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana were also on hand for the event that celebrated the kind of handcraftsmanship that has put Italy at the center of luxury fashion. About half of the world’s luxury apparel, footwear and leather goods are produced in Italy. Gigi Hadid opened the evening gliding through the arcade in a gold brocade gown celebrating the Italian Renaissance. Jennifer Lopez, arriving with designers Dolce and Gabbana, took a turn in a black evening dress. Supermodel Eva Herzegova led a tribute to the late Giorgio Armani, who died last September. Many designer wears were recognizable as they blazed across the marble gallery floor on models, Italian celebrities and athletes — including trailing Moncler puffers, Prada’s banana-print button down shirt, a safety pin-cinched Versace evening gown, a Pucci print and a Bottega Veneta fiberglass coat. Keys closed the evening performing in a beaded dress with a regal train under the Galleria's glass dome. Bolle, who performed with dancers from La Scala's academy, presented her with a rose. Milan was the last of the four major fashion capitals to host the event, which launched in New York in 2022, followed by editions in London, Paris and Los Angeles. This edition raised money for a cultural center fostering fashion, music and artistic talent at the Quarto Oggiaro Library in northwestern Milan.
