WHO DOESN'T LOVE SOME FREE ADVICE?? With over 100 FREE talks over the 3 days of the event we are sure you will find something to spark your interest. Our speaker program varies each day so check out the program for each day and plan your visit in advance!

For those who love to dig a little deeper, this year's Queensland Garden Show speaker program is bursting with inspiration. Whether you're curious about medicinal plants, keen to experiment with edible blooms, or ready to master the art of composting (hello, black gold), you'll find practical tips and expert insights across the entire weekend.

The Cook's Garden Stage will be serving up plenty of goodness too: think seasonal produce, creative ways to use your homegrown harvest, and live demonstrations that bring garden-to-plate ideas to life. Expect big flavour, clever techniques and plenty of inspiration to take back to your own kitchen.

Across the grounds, you'll discover passionate horticultural experts sharing their knowledge on everything from nurturing backyard veggies to cultivating thriving, sustainable gardens. No matter your level, balcony beginner or seasoned green thumb, there's something for everyone.

Looking for personalised advice? Our Plant Clinic is open all day, every day. Bring your questions (and even your mystery plant problems) and chat one-on-one with experienced horticultural specialists who are ready to help you grow with confidence.

And of course, our stallholders are some of the most knowledgeable in the business, so don't be shy! Stop, chat, ask questions and soak up as much wisdom as you can.
