What's Cooking In The Gardens Festival
Story: Redcliffe Guide
Published On : Jul 27, 2016
Set in the beautiful Redcliffe Botanic Gardens, the event is in its 13th year and is one of the region's most popular community events.
Mayor Allan Sutherland says the event has maintained a strong community focus, promoting many local art, craft, herb and garden groups.
We had 8000 people attend the event last year and expect just as many, if not more, this year, he says.
The event formula had remained pretty much the same since it began 13 years ago and while the event has grown in size and prominence, we have ensured it has kept its community focus.
Councillor Koliana Winchester says the event has something for everyone.
Whether you like cooking or eating, gardening or crafting, there will be activities and presentations that you will love. The program for this year's event looks great - there's lots to learn, look at and love, she says.
For the little ones, the Little Grubs stage will provide the perfect introduction to gardening, cooking and craft, and for the adults, our other stages will feature many great shows.
Adults are sure to be particularly impressed with the presence of some famous faces.
This year, we'll be joined by Australia's most famous gardener, Don Burke, Mayor Sutherland says.
And celebrity chef Matt Golinski will also make an appearance.
Mayor Allan Sutherland says the event was designed to showcase cooking demonstrations, gardening speakers and workshops, as well as raising public awareness of the Botanic Gardens.
Friends of the Gardens suggested a Green Wattle Day with native plants for sale, so we worked with them to develop it into an event that catered to a broad range of interests, he says.
Once the planning was done, What's Cooking in the Gardens was born and it has proven to be a very popular community event ever since, he says.
The event is set to be even more popular this year with the inclusion of a Farmers Market, DIY Stage for crafts, and a free pot plant workshop, which will provide participants with seedlings that they can take home and plant.
