Local expo promoted at international garden show

27 March 2008

Representatives of the Queensland Home Garden Expo will put the Sunshine Coast firmly on the map when they head south in the coming week to one of the biggest international flower shows, to encourage people to visit the region during the expo in July.

Staged within the world heritage-listed Royal Exhibition Building, the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show held from April 2-6 attracts over 100,000 garden lovers annually and is regarded as the largest horticultural event in the Southern Hemisphere.

Attendance at the show provides an excellent platform for the Queensland Home Garden Expo to launch their 2008 promotional campaign and to gain maximise exposure within this market.

Among those flying to Melbourne to represent Queensland 's number one gardening event will be Event Organiser, Marion Beazley, who says the international show presents a great opportunity to promote the Sunshine Coast and regional events.

“Now in it's twenty-fourth year, the Queensland Home Garden Expo has experienced great success and this year we hope to take the event to new heights by promoting it further a field and hopefully attracting the southern markets to come and experience what the Sunshine Coast has to offer,” said Marion.

The Queensland Home Garden Expo runs over three days from July 11-13 at the Maroochy Show Grounds, Nambour. For more information about this year's event, visit www.homegardenexpo.com.au.
