The colourful display includes moth orchids, begonias, hydrangeas and garvinea – and they’re up for sale from $1-$10 on Saturday August 5.

All monies raised from the sale will go towards the Foundation and Friends of the Botanic Gardens, who support horticulture, conservation, scientific research and education programs for the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney, the Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan and the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden Mount Tomah.
All the plants are potted and will be ready to take home at the sale. It’s advised to bring cash and to check the Facebook page for updates on the day.
