Thousands converged on the Nambour Showgrounds for the 36th annual Queensland Garden Expo.
Event Manager Marion Beazley said those exhibiting at the expo, and presenting as part of Australia’s largest gardening speaker program, were pleased with the response.
“The Queensland Garden Expo is somewhat of a gardening reunion for our speakers and exhibitors as they all share a passion for gardening and love getting face-to-face with the public and the end-users of their products,” Ms Beazley said.
“The queues at the gates on Friday morning indicated the appetite for this event and with more people turning to gardening than ever before over the past 18 months, the demand for plants, information and all things gardening is at a peak.

“From Friday afternoon, the rain stayed away and we enjoyed blue sky and sunshine on Saturday and Sunday. Tens of thousands of plants were sold and our 40-plus speakers who participated in our speaker program were thrilled at the turnout across the 10 live stages.”
