Local economic impact is estimated to be more than $10 million!
The 40th Queensland Garden Expo took place in July 2024 with tens of thousands of visitors passing through the gates of the Nambour Showgrounds, eager to see Australia’s largest gardening speaker program and more than 360 exhibitors, including dozens of growers and nurseries.
This year the Queensland Garden Expo – the Sunshine Coast’s largest annual event – started on a Thursday for the first time, with the program extending from three to four days as part of the 40th anniversary celebrations.
Event Manager Marion Beazley said, since its humble beginnings as a car boot sale in 1985, the Expo has thrived and has become one of the most anticipated events in the region.
“We couldn’t be happier with how our 40th anniversary event went – luckily a bit of rain has never stopped a gardener from getting out there, so we still had great attendance numbers,” Ms Beazley said.
