Flower & Garden

Imagine seeing your beautiful stems on display in the famous Flower & Garden pavilion at the Sydney Royal Easter Show, receiving all the ooh’s and aah’s of Showgoers appreciating your talent and hard work!

Not only would it be an unforgettable experience for you, but also it would be a fantastic way to showcase your green thumb, while also contributing to what Showgoers consider an iconic part of the Sydney Royal Easter Show, visited by tens of thousands of people every year.

Originally called the Horticulture Competition in 1869, fruit, vegetables, plants and, at times silkworms (1869), coffee and tea (1971) and even salad (1875), have all been included.

When you enter the Sydney Royal Flower & Garden Show, you’ll get to meet other passionate gardeners, share stories and make new friends. It’s also a fun celebration, and who knows, your stella stems may steal the spotlight and become the next big sensation! 

The Sydney Royal Flower & Garden Show is open to everyone, and is a place where community thrives.
