Situated at the base of picturesque Mt Macdeon, the annual Garden Lovers' Fair will take place on October 7 and 8. There will be 50 stallholders selling everything from rare plants to garden tools, food and wine, bulbs, native plants, succulents, trees and more. 

Plus, guest speaker renowned chef Maggie Beer will share her gardening pearls of wisdom in a special talk on Sunday morning. She'll share her thoughts on why she is passionate about gardening and how gardening can lead to a healthier lifestyle and environment. You can also expect talks, tours and demos from more expert gardeners. 

The event's location alone is worth a visit, nestled in the beloved 110-year-old Bolobek gardens, filled with expansive stretches of lush greenery.
