Buderim Garden Festival

Every year in October, as the sun-kissed landscapes of Buderim burst forth with a Springtime kaleidoscope of colours, scents, and textures, the Buderim Garden Festival emerges as a testament to the region’s rich horticultural heritage and the dedication of its passionate gardeners.

Each year, the festival hosts a wide range of exhibitions, talks, presentations, and workshops for garden lovers, and thousands come to learn something new.

This landmark 75th event proudly showed off Buderim’s best gardens and breathtaking flower arrangements, captivating the hearts of green-thumbed visitors across the Sunshine Coast and South East Queensland.

The festival emanates a spirit of inclusivity and camaraderie, where each member and visitor contributes to the event’s blooming success.

Through a confluence of lush landscapes, botanical brilliance, and a waterfall of community support, the 2024 Buderim Garden Festival shone as a crowning jewel in the cultural calendar of the Sunshine Coast, celebrating 75 glorious years of gardening excellence and community spirit.

The Signature Event

The Club’s signature event spans three days and features markets, displays, competitions, and open gardens.

Whether you are a green thumb enthusiast, a plant aficionado, or simply seeking a rejuvenating wander through beautiful gardens, the festival promises a memorable experience that resonates with nature’s resplendent tapestry and human ingenuity.

Friday Twilight Plant Market

Outside the Buderim Memorial Hall from 3pm – 7pm, pick up fresh new plants of every variety to give your garden and home a new look for Spring.

From 4pm, they open the Spring Flower Show and Photographic Display in the Hall too!

Saturday & Sunday Plant Markets

If getting in early on Friday evening is not your thing, we have stalls and displays on the grounds outside the Hall. Satiate your green thumbs and grab some new Spring colour. Feast your eyes on the spectacular entries in the Flower Show and more inside the Hall.

The Sculptured Garden exhibition in the Craft Cottage showcases the talents of local artists, and there is much art and craft for sale.

Across inside the Anglican Church is a divinely inspired Floral Display, open to the public.

Local Garden Showcase

Purchase a ticket and gain entry to Open Gardens around Buderim Mountain, where you can discover design ideas and horticultural secrets of the region’s best gardeners.

The ticket gives you access to all areas of the festival, including the gardens. Since numbers are limited, it makes sense to pre-order yours as soon as possible.
