Guests will be spoilt for choice at the 2021 Queensland Garden Expo with today’s launch of the full speaker program including two exciting new speakers who will join the line-up of over 40 of the country’s most impressive gardening gurus at this year’s event from 9-11 July.

Thrifty Gardener and ABC Gardening Australia presenter Millie Ross and plant medicinal expert Associate Professor Rohan Davis have both joined the program, which is the largest gardening speaker program in Australia.

Queensland Garden Expo Event Manager Marion Beazley said hundreds of Australia’s leading gardening experts had shared their wealth of knowledge at the event over its 36-year history and the breadth of the information available at the event has been a big part of attracting new visitors and inspiring the crowds.

“We are excited to welcome back Costa Georgiadis, Sophie Thomson, and Jerry Coleby-Williams, ABC’s Gardening Australia gurus, as well as Expo favourites Claire Bickle, Dr Kevin Redd and Phil Dudman – just to name a few,” Ms Beazley said.

“We are also welcoming back Adam Woodhams who recently won the 2021 Horticultural Media Association of Australia Joy Harland Photography Award – so our visitors will have the opportunity to learn a trick or two about using phones to photograph plants from one of the best in the business.

“These are incredible speakers with a diverse range of expertise on all things gardening. Our outstanding fan favourites have paved the way for an impressive line-up and we can’t wait to welcome our new speakers to the Queensland Garden Expo family.
