Botanical Bazaar

The Botanical Bazaar – Gold Coast’s Garden & Sustainability Festival is a community event held on the first weekend in August Every Year at Country Paradise Parklands, Nerang.

The Rotary Club of Gold Coast stages the event not only to raise funds for its work in the community but also because it promotes healthy and sustainable living and supports small local businesses and entertainers.

100 green inspired exhibitors, industry experts, garden walks & talks, workshops & demonstrations, botanical art, community groups and of course plants galore! Explore varied plant nurseries and landscape designers, shop for garden materials and tools, organic beauty products and botanical homewares. From composting to keeping chickens, creating habitat gardens to beekeeping, bushfood to food preservation and survival skills. Learn how to live off the grid and many other sustainable living concepts.

The Kids Hub offers family entertainment with a bunch of nature-inspired arts and crafts.
