Queensland Garden Expo

The 2020 Queensland Garden Expo that was originally scheduled for July has been rescheduled to Saturday 19, Sunday 20 & Monday 21 September 2020

The Queensland Garden Expo is one of the largest expos in Australia which attracts over 34,000 visitors and over 360 exhibitors each year.

The expo boasts different varieties of plants as well as gardening experts who will give information and advice about gardening, landscaping, botany and the newest gardening tools and techniques.

The Queensland Garden Expo will run 3 days of lectures and demonstrations where visitors can sit down at one of the eight live stages and learn more about a variety of gardening topics. There will also be question and answer sessions each day with a panel of gardening experts where you can have your tricky gardening questions answered.

If you have a particularly difficult gardening question, then stop by the Plant Clinic where you can get specialised help with your plant problem. This is a free service which is included in the price of your ticket. Kids under 15 get in FREE to this event, so bring them along as there are heaps of activities for kids with many interactive displays including a kids garden patch as well as a playground on site. Unfortunately, dogs are not permitted inside the expo.

The best thing about the Queensland Garden Expo is the Plant Cloak Room. You can purchase as many plants as you like throughout the day and, for a gold coin donation, leave your purchases here where they will be looked after until you are ready to leave.

To get to and from the expo, there is a free shuttle bus from 8am daily to meet and drop off visitors arriving by train at the Nambour station. A specially set up “Expo Bus Stop” will be located outside the entrance to the station and the bus will collect passengers approximately every 20 minutes from this Expo bus stop. If driving, you can park in the Nambour Showgrounds for $7 per car.
