The Southern Highlands Botanic Gardens, Bowral, welcomes EOIs from stallholders for our flagship annual event and the 'must-do' regional fair in the Southern Highlands – the Autumn Open Gardens and Plant Fair 2026, held in conjunction with the opening of five private exclusive estate gardens, not normally open to the public.
Drawing thousands of locals and regional visitors and now in its 15th year, 2026 promises to be our biggest event ever! Building on the success of recent years, with celebrity guests, jazz band, strong media coverage, and growing crowds - we’re excited to broaden the scope of the 2026 Fair.
