2023 Plant Lovers Fair at Kariong
16th -17th September
Every year, a group of keen volunteers gather to stage the Central Coast’s own Plant Lovers Fair. Here you’ll find growers and enthusiasts who sell principally to the trade or to collectors and you can find a host of exciting, unusual plants that are hard to find in garden centres.
From succulents, natives, tropicals, carnivorous plants, hardy perennials and roses suited to our east coast humidity, you’ll find an amazing array. Favourites are bromeliads, gingers, iris, herbs and begonias.
The exhibitors at the Plant Lovers Fair are specially chosen to offer ‘something different’ – rare, unusual or collectable. The selection of plants on display are not commonly available in Garden Centres. Despite being rare these plants are not difficult to grow! You will always find a great assortment of interesting species that will look great in your garden. Visit the website to see the exhibitors list.
The growers are on hand to impart their knowledge with practical, nitty-gritty, insider advice, to switch the balance from failure to success. The more questions you ask the better so join our talented team of growers and spur your gardening passion.
The Speakers Programme focuses on grower/exhibitors who are keen to give you the lowdown on how to succeed with the great plants they grow. Speakers will be appearing throughout the weekend and the schedule will be available at the event.
If it’s great information you want, our exhibitors are the ones to ask! If some of their plants are completely new to you, this is how you get the dirt on how to grow them and how to best use them in your local landscape. Our growers are all expert growers of their chosen plants and there is no better way to find out their “trade secrets” to growing success.
