For those perhaps interested in some more specialised topics, Friday may be your pick of the days where you'll find Jerry Coleby-Williams speaking about medicinal plants or Claire Bickle with her hot tips on edible flowers – what can you eat? Also on Friday you can catch Phil Dudman with his talk about becoming the composting master! Learn the simple secrets to turning kitchen scraps into black gold. And don't forget to drop by the Cook's Garden Stage and catch Roslyn McCarthy with her tips on growing and using cumquats…one not to miss!

On Saturday and Sunday we also welcome Gardening Australia's Costa Georgiadis. Costa will bring his own special brand of enthusiasm as he shares his love of community, collaboration and the power of plants!

Over the weekend we also welcome expert chef Matt Golinski to our Cook's Garden stage on the weekend, along with several well know Curated Plate chefs who will be serving up a taste of culinary excellence!

Don't forget, most of our exhibitors are experts in their field and love sharing their knowledge with visitors. Looking for specific help with a plant?
