During the five-day event, visitors can participate in FREE gardening-related workshops and talks, and activities for the WHOLE FAMILY. For more details on the programme, please click here.
Limited FREE potted plants will also be given to visitors.
Visitors may also explore the outdoor display plots in the Garden Patch of HortPark. Andre was particularly taken with the Fantasy Garden which featured the main characters of the Wizard of Oz, including a ghoulish looking scarecrow.
A date with the butterflies, free plants, workshops, and gardening gems.... all in all a great day. We're now looking forward to the next GardenTech.
