THE Gloucester Spring Plant Fair returns to the Gloucester Showground on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 September.
The Fair brings a variety of wholesale plant nurseries to Gloucester on one weekend.
Explore a vibrant showcase of over 15 exhibitors featuring a wide variety of plants for collectors and gardening enthusiasts.
Discover ornamental plants, edible garden options, trees, shrubs, ground covers, and high-quality gardening products.
“It is an opportunity for garden enthusiasts to pick up some new plants, ask experts questions, win prize giveaways, and meet likeminded garden enthusiasts,” said Tonia Channon, Gloucester AH&P Association Secretary/Treasurer.
“A large range of plants will be available at the Gloucester Spring Plant Fair, ranging from small succulents to garden annuals and vegetable seedlings through to large trees.
“The wholesale nurseries are able to offer large scale orders, such as trees for acreage, as well as unique plants like orchids and specialist Dahlia varieties.
“Gloucester Landscapes will also be at the plant fair to assist with garden landscape designs and your property garden fencing needs.”
Run completely by volunteers, this is the second year that the Gloucester AH&P Association has organised the Fair.
“The Gloucester AH&P Assoc Inc was approached by a local nursery (Rob Willis at Woodside Plants & Design) to look at hosting a Plant Fair in 2024,” Tonia said.
“Rob has attended many large Plant Fairs in Armidale, Bowral and Sydney.
“He thought it would be a great idea to host a plant fair closer to home.”
All funds raised at the Fair will go towards the maintenance of the Gloucester Showground to keep it a viable community facility.
There will be a BBQ canteen and a coffee van on site throughout the Fair.
