There will be a wide variety of plants for sale at competitive prices – indigenous and exotic plants, colourful garden flowers and indoors plants and specialist plants, such as orchids, air plants, aroids and succulents. There will also be pots, garden ornaments and books for sale and a raffle for a Mother’s Day gift hamper.
There are some great attractions – famous botanist Dr Elsa Pooley will be at the fair with her books for sale, and Tanya Visser will be at the fair with her merchandise.
Among the exhibitors will be Eric Badise representing the Denis Hurley Centre Street Lit books, which help a team of homeless and formerly homeless rehabilitated men and women earn a modest income from selling good second-hand donated books at venues around town while, at the same time, allowing people access to affordable second-hand books.
