COMMUNITY NEWS - The Queensland Garden Show

Formerly the Queensland Garden Expo, the Queensland Garden Show returns to the Nambour Showgrounds from July 11-13, for its 41st year, with a fresh new name that organisers say better reflects the event’s evolution over the past four decades.

The family-friendly, grassroots event remains a must-visit for everyone, from passionate home gardeners and industry professionals to absolute beginners starting their gardening journey, bringing together more than 360 exhibitors, including 55 nurseries selling 50,000 plants per day.

Spanning seven hectares, the Show attracts over 40,000 visitors each year, eager to explore the latest in gardening, sustainability and landscaping trends, while gaining expert insights from some of Australia’s most respected gardening personalities, including Costa Georgiadis, Sophie Thomson, Jerry Coleby-Williams and Phil Dudman, and culinary experience with a renowned chef like Matt Golinski.

The event has transformed from a more traditional expo into a far more comprehensive and engaging experience for visitors who can enjoy expert talks, live demonstrations and entertainment, family activities and interactive workshops, including the Giant Kitchen Garden, where visitors can learn how to create a fully planted sustainable garden at home; the Living Backyard zone offering advice on how to attract wildlife to your garden; and the Cook’s Garden Stage.
