If you're an avid gardener, a self-described plant mum or dad or simply love greenery, then check out Garden State Festival, a three-day event celebrating all things gardening. The three-day festival kicks off on April 29 and features installations, activities and spaces that explore what it means to be a gardener in contemporary society.
Highlights include a landscape designer leading a garden tour that explores the concept of reclaimed gardens, a workshop on turning natural found objects into ceramic pressings and a garden mural installation taking place over the weekend. On April 30 and May 1, the Plant Society will host ticketed events and panel discussions featuring guests like the Huxleys, Atong Atem, Jo Ferguson and more.
There will be more than 20 events over the course of the weekend, so head to the website to explore the entire program.
