Lockyer Valley Regional Council Mayor Tanya Milligan said the Open Garden Scheme was a great opportunity to acknowledge the dedicated and creative gardeners who call the Lockyer Valley home.

"If you're proud of your garden and would still like to show it off, we think this is a great concept," she said.

"Many of our residents find great pleasure in their gardens and have diversified to waterwise plants and setups to make the most of the minimal rainfall since the drought declaration two years ago.

"Particularly over the last few months as people have been staying at home, they have turned to the garden for a sense of achievement, companionship with other family members and many are growing edible plants which is great."

Laidley Spring Garden Fair 2024  QCGC LIz Parkinson on the QCGC Stand

QCGC at Laidley Garden Fair

 

The Laidley Spring Garden Fair was a hugh success in 2024. The Garden Fair was relocated to the south west corner of the Laidley Recreation Grounds, due to our usual location, The Laidley Cultural Centre been damaged in a storm in late 2023, and not usable. To accommodate the large number of vendors, who only market garden related products, and the Laidley Garden Club Inc. display, usually housed in the auditorium of the Laidley Cultural Centre, a large marquee (35meters X 20meters) was erected on the recreation grounds. Surrounding the marquee were another 25 vendors, selling garden related products, and a food court. The event was run over two days and attracted more that 5000 people into the marquee to appreciate the variety of garden products for sale and the display by the Laidley Garden Club Inc.

Barrileen Clivias..   We go eah year and stock up on Clivias.

Entry into the marquee was a gold coin donation to our charity for 2024, The Royal Flying Doctor Service, and being such a success allowed the Laidley Garden Club Inc. to donate $5000 to the RFDS, which was very much appreciated.
