Amazing food, a hundred free talks from garden gurus and the latest trends that will make your backyard bliss – one of the Sunshine Coast’s premier events is back brighter than ever.
The Queensland Garden Show, proudly organised by Nursery & Garden Industry Queensland, is set to transform the Nambour Showgrounds into a lush paradise from July 11–13.
Celebrating a legacy spanning 40 years, the show is more than just a plant-lover’s paradise, it’s a full-blown festival of flora, food and fun.
Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli said whether you were a seasoned horticulturist or a budding backyard grower, this three-day extravaganza promised something for everyone.
“With dozens of nurseries, hundreds of exhibitors, and a vibrant community atmosphere, the Queensland Garden Show is a celebration of everything that makes gardening great,” Mayor Natoli said.
“With the stunning Sunshine Coast hinterland as its backdrop, it’s the perfect excuse for a weekend getaway. Even little green thumbs can get their hands dirty with fun, educational activities designed to inspire the next generation of gardeners.”
Queensland Garden Show Festival Director Marion Beazley said there would be six stages of free talks and demonstrations.
“More than 100 free talks will explore an expansive range of gardening topics from native plant care to space-saving vertical gardens,” Ms Beazley said.
“We have some of Australia’s top gardening experts, including ABC Gardening Australia personalities Jerry Coleby-Williams and Sophie Thomson, author of The Thrifty Gardener Millie Ross, and returning favourite Costa Georgiadis.
There are also plenty of activities and fun for the kids as they discover the heartwarming story of Rocky the Mary River turtle and ways to protect our environment.
Visitors to the Living Backyard area will have the opportunity to connect with Council specialists and passionate community members, who will be on hand to share practical advice on creating wildlife-friendly backyards – including frogs, birds, butterflies, bees and more.
Visit the native nurseries on site to buy guaranteed local native plants and get expert advice on the best species to plant on your property. You can also find out about Sunshine Coast Council’s environment and sustainability programs and projects - BushCare Sunshine Coast, flying-foxes, shorebirds, Land for Wildlife and more.
