2016 Spring Garden Expo

The Wondai Garden Expo Committee will be holding the first day of their weekend-long 2016 Wondai Spring Garden Expo at the Wondai Sports Grounds off the Bunya Highway in Wondai from 8:00am to 4:30pm today (the Expo will also be running at the Sports Grounds from 8:00am to 1:00pm tomorrow). As is always the case with these very popular Garden Expos, keen gardeners will be able to enjoy a very wide display of plants, pots, fertilizers, outdoor products and much more from over 140 exhibitors in what's quite possibly the largest gardening display of its kind in south-east Queensland. There'll also be expert guest speakers; live entertainment in the grounds; a Horticultural Show and display (the theme this year is 'Moonlight and Roses'); and lots of food and refreshment stands too. In addition, there'll be lucky spot prizes all weekend and a major multi-draw raffle, as well as the Official Opening at 11:00am today by a special guest. Entry fees are just $5.00 per person and young people under 15 who are accompanied by an adult are free. There's also plenty of free parking nearby. More details?
