Wondai’s annual Spring Garden Expo was as bright and bustling as ever at the weekend with visitors exploring a multitude of stalls stretching around the edge of Wondai Sportsground.
Saturday morning was particularly busy with hundreds of cars parked along both sides of the Bunya Highway.
The two-day event is organised by an independent committee made up of members of the Wondai Garden Club and local community members.
It is held to coincide with Autumn and Spring every year and is always one of the biggest gardening events in south-east Queensland.
Wondai Garden Club president Helen Young, from Proston, said there were 108 stalls booked in this time, including several new exhibitors.
Local South Burnett businesses from Murgon and Wondai rubbed shoulders with stallholders from the Sunshine Coast and further afield.
The event was officially opened jointly by South Burnett Deputy Mayor Kathy Duff and Cr Ros Heit.
Live entertainment was provided by local musicians, The Stepping Stones.
And bush food expert Geoff Robinson, permaculturist Alan Atkinson and soil doctor Jason Reimers were this year’s guest speakers.
