Plant and Garden Expo
The popular Spring Spectacular weekend is off, but there will be a smaller scale event for the city's green thumbs to enjoy this weekend. Bathurst Garden Club will hold a Plant and Garden Expo in Berry Park, featuring music, food, plant and market stalls, demonstrations and displays. The idea came from last year's Spring Spectacular, when markets were set up in some of the gardens, selling rustic ornaments and craft. The expo will be held on Saturday, October 24 from 9.30am to 5pm and entry will be by a gold coin donation. Proceeds will go to local charities.
