The New England Garden Festival will return in 2024 following the success of the inaugural event held last year.
It will run for seven days from October 31st to November 6th and will expand to include a Spring Garden Trail to attract visitors to outlying towns.
The New England Garden Festival Inc. is a not-for-profit organisation hosting a feature event for the New England region to showcase the beautiful gardening potential plentiful in our area, whilst supporting Can Assist by raising funds for local patients, and their families, suffering from a cancer diagnosis.
The aim of the festival is to bring together gardeners, experts and the community for fun and educational activities, along with a great range of market stalls selling garden-related products. A number of inspirational gardens will be open, along with winning gardens in the Armidale Garden Competition.
This year’s festival will kick off with a Spring Garden Trail, travelling across six country towns in the beautiful New England region in seven days, showcasing 18+ cold climate gardens to visitors.
Three gardens in each town will open, starting in Walcha on October 31st, and then heading to Uralla on November 1st, Armidale on November 2nd-3rd, Guyra November 4th, Glen Innes November 5th and concluding in Tenterfield on November 6th.

The main festival event will be once again held at the Armidale Racecourse on Saturday and Sunday November 2nd to 3rd.
