Markets transform into green dream

CALLING all green thumbs – the Gold Coast’s biggest plant sale of the year is on this weekend.

Thousands are expected to turn up to Carrara Markets for the Autumn Plant Spectacular.

The 24-acre venue, which typically fits 350 market stalls, will be turning into a greenlovers paradise and stocking thousands of plants to suit those looking for something to keep indoors, to those who live on acreage.

A visual stylist will be at the event to talk about how to give your home a pop of colour with a plant, alongside growers to answer any questions on potting and planting for this time of the year. The plants are supplied direct from growers of the Succulent & Bromeliad Society & Orchid Society and are priced cheaper than what you would usually pay at a plant nursery.

The event will be held on Saturday and Sunday between 9am to 2pm and has free entry and parking.
