Hervey Bay Botanic Gardens Open Day

Staff and volunteer at the Hervey Bay Botanic Gardens with plant donation seedlings

Celebrate Australia and New Zealand Botanic Gardens (BGANZ) Week at the Hervey Bay Botanic Gardens Open Day, a relaxed morning dedicated to plants, nature and wellbeing.

Join us on Sunday 24 May from 9am to 12pm for a great line-up of local gardening groups, plant sales, workshops and more. Our native plant sales like this rarely happen throughout the year, so it’s a great chance to pick up something special for your garden grown right at the Hervey Bay Botanic Gardens.

What's on:
  • Native plants and orchids for sale
  • The Orchid House open to visitors
  • Nature journal workshops with Riverbend Nature Connections
  • Displays and advice from local groups including: Orchid Society, Bromeliad Society, Hervey Bay Garden Club, Fraser Coast Beekeepers and John “Batman” Parsons.
  • Food and coffee vans on site

Whether you’re a keen gardener or just looking for a nice way to spend the morning, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
