Since its humble beginnings in 2005, Collectors’ Plant Fair (CPF) has blossomed into Australia’s most treasured plant fair, drawing thousands of passionate gardeners, plant collectors, and specialist growers from all corners of the country. It’s more than just a plant fair—it’s a weekend dedicated to discovering rare and hard-to-find plants, catching up with fellow plant enthusiasts, and sharing knowledge with experts in the field. Each year, CPF brings together over 100 stallholders offering a vast array of plants, from rare natives and exotic perennials to succulents and ferns. Visitors can browse, shop, and learn from some of the best in the business, picking up tips and tricks to take back to their own gardens. In addition to the plant stalls, CPF also offers a series of talks and workshops covering a wide range of topics, from propagation techniques to garden design. Experts in horticulture, botany, and gardening share their knowledge and passion with eager attendees, creating an educational and inspiring atmosphere. Whether you’re a seasoned plant collector or a novice gardener, there’s something for everyone at CPF. So come join us on 13th April and see for yourself why the Collectors Plant Fair has become the highlight of the gardening calendar for so many plant lovers across Australia.
