About Gardeners' Day Out
Gardeners' Day Out is now held 4 times a year!
It has been 15 years since our first Gardeners' Day Out (GDO) event in 2009 and seven years of monthly gatherings since 2017. As we mark this milestone, we have taken the opportunity to review and refresh our plans so that GDO continues to thrive and remains a key gathering point for gardening enthusiasts.
We are happy to announce that Gardeners' Day Out (GDO) will happen quarterly at HortPark in 2025. Look forward to more vendors, activities, and gardening experiences soon!
