Outta My Garden

Marburg Garden & Outdoor Expo is only 3 sleeps away now.
We are at our usual spot, Site 20, and will have our Bee & Butterfly range as well as a few odds and sods.
Don't forget your bags for all the new treasures and wear comfy shoes, there are lots of new stalls this year as well as all your favourites so lots more exciting treasures to find and drool over😊.

Off to the coast this Saturday, 4 July, for the SDOS Orchid Show, Country Paradise Parklands, Nerang.
Lots of gorgeous orchids to admire, lots of beautiful orchids to buy, lots of lovely plants to buy & lots of interesting stalls to see, and all surrounded by the Country Paradise Parklands.
Free parking, refreshments available (or bring your own picnic lunch), I am reliably told the organisers have arranged for lovely blue skies all day. See you there.

Only 2 more sleeps till Esk Garden Fair.
Took a few photos this morning, these are going to Esk along with a few others.
We will be in Site 37 near the South Gate.
Looking forward to seeing a few familiar faces and a whole lot of new ones.

Esk Garden Fair is on this Saturday, 20 June, from 8am to 3pm.
This will be our first time there as plant sellers.
We are at Site 37, over near the South Gate and under a tree 😊
Check out the Esk Garden Fair page for the best parking spot. And don't forget your bags to take home the hundreds of new plants you will be buying.

Early start this Sunday morning, off to T M Country Markets at the Tamborine Showgrounds.
Looking for some winter colour for your garden? Dombeya species from Africa & neighbouring islands, are fast growing & adaptable to Australia's warm climates.
Species range from 2-3mt to large trees, flowers resemble large hydrangeas & bloom from autumn thru spring in most areas. The nectar-rich blooms are spectacular, come in red, pink, white & various combinations of all three colours.
Bee & butterfly attracting & a good source of food for native insects in colder weather.
If you are after a specimen or to create a hedge it is worth looking at Dombeyas, with their beautiful flowers & attractive foliage they are an ideal addition to any garden.
We will have a few on Sunday along with our other bee & butterfly attracting perennials, bulbs, climbers and tropicals.
Don't forget to bring your bags to take home some treasures, plus maybe a jumper and beanie❄️❄️

Only 3 days to go till the Ipswich Plant and Lifestyle Fair on Saturday 6 June at the Nicholas St Precinct.
Have been braving the cold mornings picking plants for Saturday and found a few tasties I had forgotten were there.
It will be a beautiful, sunny winter's day (Chelsea promises), there's free undercover parking, free entry and lots of brilliant stalls selling plants, garden thingies and lovely food.
So bring lots of bags for all the new plants you will be buying.

Well Easter is over & done, we're still plowing our way through the pile of chocolates Easter Bunny deposited, a certain person is doing a good job of finishing them off.
