Access Chronicle Garden Competition maps

THE Chronicle Garden Competition gardens attract thousands of people each year during the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers.

The event, which is now in its 70th year, is famed internationally and has been named the country’s Best Major Festival or Event by the Australian Tourism Awards.

Visitors and residents are able to tour the gardens and chat to home owners about the years and months of hard work that have gone into creating the award-winning gardens.

Tens of thousands of people from all across the country will be in town to check out the work of our passionate green thumbs over 10-days.

The gardens are open from now until Sunday, September 29.

To make it easier for those wanting to check out the gardens, The Chronicle has compiled eight interactive online maps, 10 printable PDFs, and a digital edition of the entire The Chronicle Garden Competition Guide.

There is an 84-page digital edition of The Chronicle Garden Competition Visitor Guide, you can view online.

In the guide, you’ll find maps to the winning gardens, stories on the gardeners behind the work, useful event guides, gardening advice and more.

For the interactives there is one map with all entrants across the region, as well as seven self-driving garden loop maps.

There are garden loop maps starting at Queens Park, Picnic Point, Laurel Bank Park, Crows Nest and Pittsworth as well as a driving map from Spring Bluff Railway Station to Highfields.

The printable PDFs are also available online, with six selfdriving maps and four individual overall entrant maps for Toowoomba North, Toowoomba South, Country and Highfields.

The maps, PDFs and guide are now available at www.thechronicle.com.au.

All residential gardens are open during the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers period, and entry is free.
