Cj Hendry's Plush Flower Shop Returns to Brisbane for the Holidays

Cj Hendry's Flower Shop is coming back to Brisbane for the holidays. The New York-based artist, who is from Brisbane, is opening her pop-up at 24 Light Street in Fortitude Valley from Wednesday 2 to Saturday 12 December, from 10am to 6pm every day.

The shop sells nothing but flowers, though not the kind that wilt. These are Hendry's colourful, oversized plush blooms, which need no watering and are made to last, priced at A$10 a stem with the tenth free when you buy nine. New stock arrives throughout the run, so a second visit can add something new to your bouquet.

It makes an easy Christmas gift, and the artist's team pitches it that way: a way to put together an everlasting bouquet, find something unusual to give, or take home a piece of Hendry's artistic world. Hendry says Flower Market, which Flower Shop grew out of, "began as an effort to unite communities around a universally shared joy: flowers".

Brisbane is one of seven December stops on a 14-city pop-up tour, alongside Melbourne, Denver, London, Chicago, Sydney and Perth. The tour follows Hendry's Flower Market exhibitions in cities including New York, Sydney, Singapore and Abu Dhabi, and her permanent Flower Shops in New York and Hong Kong.
