Expo expands after quick sell-out

Anticipation is building ahead of this years 23 rd annual Queensland Home Garden Expo with sites already booked up over six weeks out from the event, forcing organisers to increase the size of the event to accommodate the growing demand.

The event, which is held at the Maroochy Showgrounds in Nambour, runs from July 6-8, and attracts over 20,000 visitors, garden lovers and horticulture professionals each year. It is also proving to be a very popular calendar date for exhibitors with in excess of 350 site holders already booked in for this year.

Event organiser, Marion Beazley , is overwhelmed by the response and as a result has released a number of new sites for this year's expo to accommodate this growing demand.

“The Queensland Home Garden Expo is now ranked number one in Queensland and places amongst the top five gardening events in the country, attracting a large array of quality exhibitors from around Australia, ” said Marion.

“The escalating popularity of the event, has forced the expo to expand, giving many exhibitors who would like to get involved an opportunity to do so. This year's event will be bigger than previous years and promises to offer visitors more diversity than ever.”

The expo will feature tantalising offerings from a large range of exhibitors including 60 of the best nurseries selling over 40,000 top quality and new release plants daily.

Everything from the latest garden tools, books, accessories, swimming pools, patios and decks, water tanks, compost bins, bush products, lawnmowers, garden art and more will be on-site over the three days.  

Some of Australia 's leading garden gurus will be joining the expo, hosting lectures, demos and workshops.

Radio 4BC's Col Campbell, ABC radio host Annette McFarlane , Brisbane Botanical Gardens Curator Ross McKinnon and Phil Dudman, presenter on WIN TV's Gardening Gurus Show, will all be in attendance.

“The event not only provides a wealth of information and inspiration for visitors, it is also a great and entertaining day out for all,” Marion said.
