Yarra Valley Autumn Plant Fair and Garden Expo

Overview

If you're looking to get out of town, soak up some nature and indulge your green thumb this long weekend, we've found an event with your name written all over it. The Yarra Valley Autumn Plant Fair and Garden Expo is set to bloom this Saturday, April 23–Sunday, April 24, serving up a weekend of expert talks, demos, plant stalls and more.

Taking over Romantic Nursery in Wandin, this leafy affair will feature a jam-packed program of guest speakers, ranging from local growers to award-winning horticulturalists. They'll be sharing tips, tricks and insights on everything from garden tools and trees to urban gardens.

Your own plant collection is in for a boost once you browse the Autumn Plant Fair, stocked with over 5000 varieties in total and slinging plenty of rare leafy treats. A special curation of rare and precious varieties will also be up for grabs at a dedicated plant auction on Sunday.

Rounding out the weekend and enhancing your plant shopping experience, there'll be a selection of food stalls and local booze. And you can bring your pooch, as long as they stay on lead.
