The Foliage Fest

Overview

Brisbane is positively blooming with excuses to stock up on greenery, with plant markets and sales happening with frequency. Add a trip to The Foliage Fest to your weekend agenda, however, and you can pick up something natural, leafy and possibly floral from just $3.

Both indoor and outdoor plants will be on offer, including the ol' favourite that is the fiddle leaf figs, the eye-catching Bird of Paradise to brighten up your life, plus vines, ferns, climbers, succulents and topiary as well. The list goes on, with hangers also starting from $10. Expect plenty to choose from given the whole thing is going down in a nursery.

That'd be Chadwick Nursery. Head along to the two-day event across Saturday, December 1 and Sunday, December 2, running from 8am each day. There'll also be live tunes to put you in a browsing and buying mood, if you need some extra motivation — other than a heap of bargain-priced green babies, that is.
