Buderim Garden Festival

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.

There are three parts to the flower show; The Spring Flower Show, Open Gardens and Quality Plant Market. Each section offers something different, so there is something for everyone at the Buderim Garden Festival.

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!
