Toowoomba
Camellia Show
The humble
Camellia has
some surprising
facts.
Our region’s high altitude means that most of our
garden’s flowers fade in winter, but the beautiful
Camellia thrives in the cooler months. Show your love for
this unique flower by joining us at the 2017 Toowoomba
Camellia Show & Garden Expo on 15 – 16 July at the
TAFE Horticulture Centre, Campbell Street, Toowoomba.
From 9am – 4pm each day, you’ll enjoy the amazing
winter garden, Camellia competitions, Japanese
Camellia tea ceremony, food and entertainment and the
chance to buy a large range of Camellias.
Entry for the show and expo is $8 OR just $5 for the
Winter Garden OR $10 for both. Under 15 years is free.
