Yea Garden Expo

19 to 20 Sep 2026

The township of Yea is just over an hour’s drive from Melbourne. The Yea Rotary Club has organised a Garden Expo. This is just the time of year when interested gardeners are busy preparing their gardens for spring colour. The Expo provides an opportunity to view a host of garden-related products at the Yea Saleyards site (Flat Lead Road), just off the Yea – Whittlesea Road, a few kilometres on the south side of Yea. The site is flat, sealed and easily accessible for everyone. Dogs are permitted, provided on a leash.

The expo will feature a wide range of goods and services and a plentiful supply of food and drinks, much of it homemade. Over 70 vendors will be on site with exhibits ranging from bulbs, seeds, seedlings, flowering plants and trees to garden tools and equipment, garden art and ornaments, compost, fertilizers and more. Check out the quirky horseshoe garden sculptures, produced by local Darryl Callander and which can be made to order.

New this year will be the opportunity to visit two spring gardens for the added cost of $10 (includes both gardens).
