The Buderim Garden Festival is held annually in mid-October at the Buderim War Memorial on the Sunshine Coast.
Each year, the festival hosts a vast range of exhibitions, talks, presentations and workshops for garden lovers and thousands come each year to learn something new.
Buderim Garden Festival 2023 Dates, Flower Show Ticket & Open Garden
The Spring Flower Show is where beautiful floral decorations, hanging baskets, cut flower arrangements and bonsai are on display with plenty of competition among those who enter. There is even a kid’s competition where they can create their arrangement using vegetables.
Open Gardens is where some of the most beautiful gardens in the region open their doors and invite visitors to see some fantastic flower garden displays. Open Gardens is accessed with a festival ticket, and a bus is typically arranged to move people between the gardens for a small fee.
The Quality Plant Market is one of the favourite aspects of the festival as there are a wide variety of plants available for sale. So come along to find an old favourite or a new and unique variety.
Light refreshments will be available at Memorial Hall and the nearby Craft Cottage, so come along and support local growers by making a plant purchase and having a great time!
Iis it possible to take a small dog with us to the garden show ?
Hi Barbara,
I have scoured the entire festival page on the Buderim Garden Club website and can’t find a single thing about bringing pets.
Rather than trying to guess what their conditions are from my end, i would recommend trying to give the organisers a call on 0448714561 or email them at [email protected] just to confirm.
Thanks
Michael
i can’t see a list of the types of entries we can bring for the plants and flowers competition. I have some lovely roses this year.
Hi Mary,
I think i found the information you are after buried down on the event page at the Buderim Garden Festival website.
I have since attached this information to the image gallery on my page at https://www.sunshinecoastpoint.com.au/events/buderim-garden-festival/, which shows all 11 sections and classes of entry.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Michael
Will the Buderim flower show still be on considering the all of rain? I have a friend coming from Brisbane.Thankyou in advance Jillian.
Hi Jillian,
Be that the official Facebook page of the Buderim Garden Club just shared a message 45 minutes ago hoping to see everyone at the festival, I would assume that everything is still scheduled to go ahead.
To be 100% sure, i would suggest calling them on 0448 714 561 to get a definitive answer.
Thanks
Michael
Where do I find the addresses for the 6 open gardens? Can’t find anywhere
Hi Michelle,
I have been unable to confirm the addresses of the gardens for this year. It seems that the organisers encourage people to attend the Buderim War Memorial (BWMCA) Hall, intersection of King and Main Streets, Buderim.
From there, those who have purchased tickets will be able to access the gardens, the hall and the plant market. A bus has been arranged to move people between the gardens for a small extra cost. You may be able to access further information about individual addresses at the Buderim War Memorial.
Best regards,
Jess
Will tickets to view the open gardens be available on Saturday 14th October please? I have tried to buy tickets on-line but it takes me to a weird site.
Hi Maxine,
You can purchase your ticket for the weekend at the Old Buderim Post Office in Burnett Street, Manawee Nursery, Buderim Newsagency or Bendigo Bank. If you have any further queries, give the Buderim Garden Club a call on 0448 714 561 or email them at [email protected].
Best regards,
Jess
