In July we returned to the Sunshine Coast to exhibit at the 2015 Queensland Garden Expo. As always we set up in the Giant Kitchen Garden section and braced ourselves for the onslaught of visitors!

Below are a few of the things which caught our eye as well as pics of our favourite garden personalities which stopped by for a catch up chat:

Giant bees, ladybeetles and gerbera flowers!
