Why is there a $5pp admission fee?

Events like this one have a lot of costs to cover including venue hire, security, liability insurance, parking, picnic table hire so you have a place to enjoy lunch, rubbish bins, marketing, cleaning fees, eftpos machine hire, and event staff. An admission fee means that our vendors are not burdened with these hidden costs, making the event more accessible for small businesses & hobbyists to attend and provide their awesome stalls to the public. Your contribution supports our small businesses and makes it possible for our event to be viable. Our event organisers host this event out of passion for plants and the plant community. An admission fee helps recover costs so that we can put this on for you.

Can I bring a trailer? I want to buy lots of large plants!

Yes, you can bring a covered or uncovered trailer as there is lots of space to park on the grass beyond the sealed carpark. The venue has lots of space. Arrive bright and early to get the best spot.
