Guide to the Henderson Land × CJ Hendry Flower Market
Central Harbourfront, Hong Kong — March 2026
What Is It?
Organised by creative agency Pen & Paper and presented by Henderson Land, the "Henderson Land × CJ Hendry Flower Market" is making its Asian debut during Hong Kong Art Month. It's not a traditional flower market — think immersive art installation meets giant soft toy shop, set against one of the world's great urban waterfronts.
Set within a greenhouse-style pavilion overlooking the waterfront, the Hong Kong edition centres on Hendry's collection of 26 plush flower designs, comprising over 150,000 plush flowers in total, each rendered with her signature hyper-realistic attention to texture and form.
The Artist: CJ Hendry
An Australian artist based in New York, Hendry is widely recognised for her hyper-realistic drawings and large-scale experiential installations. Her previous projects have reimagined everyday objects in unexpected settings, including an Olympic-sized pool in the Mojave Desert and a re-created flower market in Brooklyn.
The Hong Kong Exclusives
Two pieces were created specifically for this presentation and are worth seeking out:
The "Henderson Flower" commemorates Henderson Land's Golden Jubilee, while the "Bauhinia" pays homage to Hong Kong's emblem — a motif that also informed the organic geometry of The Henderson, the group's flagship commercial tower. These limited editions serve as a subtle dialogue between the built environment and soft sculpture.
Practical Information
Dates: 19–22 March 2026
Location: Central Harbourfront, AIA Vitality Park, 33 Man Kwong Street
Admission: Free, with prior registration through the event website. Guests are required to present an e-ticket for entry. Quotas apply and are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so register early.
Souvenirs: The plush flowers are available for purchase at HK$38 each as a keepsake, and as a gesture of civic generosity, each registered guest may also select one complimentary plush flower.
Tips for Visiting
Register in advance. Spots are capped, so don't leave it to the day. Public registration opened on 4 March 2026.
Go on a weekday if you can — the four-day run (Thursday to Sunday) means the weekend sessions are likely to be busiest.
Allow time to explore AIA Vitality Park itself, which sits right on the harbour with great views of Victoria Harbour and Kowloon.
Getting there: The nearest MTR is Hong Kong Station (Exit F) or Central Station (Exit A). It's a short walk along the waterfront promenade.
Combine your visit with the broader Hong Kong Art Month programme — Art Basel Hong Kong runs at the same time, making it a rich few days for art lovers in the city.
Context: Art Month in Hong Kong
The showcase forms part of the city's Art Month programme and further cements Hong Kong's position as a global arts destination. Landing in March, it sits alongside Art Basel Hong Kong and a wave of gallery openings, making the Flower Market a crowd-pleasing, family-friendly anchor to what is otherwise a fairly rarefied art week.
This is a rare chance to experience CJ Hendry's work in Asia for the first time — and with free entry and a free flower to take home, it's one of the better value outings Hong Kong's Art Month has to offer.
