Queensland Garden Show

For 42 years, the Queensland Garden Show has been inspiring green thumbs to grow, learn and get their hands dirty, and this July the beloved event returns to Nambour for a bumper celebration of all things gardening.

From July 10–12, more than seven hectares of the Nambour Showgrounds will transform into a thriving hub of plants, expert advice and garden inspiration. Welcoming more than 25,000 visitors each year, the three-day event brings together more than 360 exhibitors, including 55 specialist nurseries selling an extraordinary 60,000 plants every day.

Whether you’re searching for a hardy native, a productive edible plant or something a little harder to find, the Queensland Garden Show offers one of the state’s largest collections of plants in a single location. Beyond the shopping, visitors can enjoy more than 70 free talks and demonstrations across four live stages, with gardening personalities including Graham Ross, Sophie Thomson, Jerry Coleby-Williams and Phil Dudman sharing their knowledge.

There will also be hands-on workshops, practical advice at the popular Plant Clinic and the chance to explore the fully planted Giant Kitchen Garden. Returning favourites such as the rooster crowing competition add a dose of country charm, while dedicated children’s activities and free entry for kids aged 15 and under make it an easy family day out.

Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just getting started, the Queensland Garden Show is the place to discover new plants, pick up expert tips and return home brimming with inspiration.
