The Friends of Noosa Botanic Gardens have certainly exceeded themselves with the quantity and quality of gardening related stalls and activities that they have at this year’s Noosa Botanic Gardens Plant Fair on Fathers Day, 1 September at Noosa Botanic Gardens. Make sure you get the whole family down there to check it out as it’s going to be a great day!

It’s a great place to pick up advice and tips with lots of experts on hand at the stalls and of course the knowledgeable Friends of Noosa Botanic Gardens in their propagation shed. Plus there is a full day of guest speakers providing information on bush tucker, gingers, sustainability, earth life and trends and fashion for indoors and small spaces.

Much loved favourites from previous years will be in attendance including rare and collectable plants, geraniums, succulents, tillandsias, bromeliads, orchids, natives, heliconias, ferns, bush food, herbs and flowers to name just a few! There are also stalls with garden art, tools, pots and sculptures. John Parsons from the Fraser Coast Micro Bat group is back educating about the endangered unsung heroes who pollinate at night. The Noosa Beach Classic Car Club are also back to show off a selection of their motoring classics.

Some fantastic new additions to the program this year include Witjuti Grub Bushfood Nursery, Permaculture Noosa, Acres Nursery, Bokashi Ninja composting system, Boomerang Bags and the Lost Gardens all having stalls this year. Landcare Noosa have a very exciting addition to their stall this year with the star of the Noosa Council and Noosa Biosphere logos, the vulnerable Boronia Keysii for sale as well as many other species!
