Nestled between the Barossa Valley and the Adelaide Hills, the picturesque town of Mt. Pleasant will once again host the annual S.A. Spring Garden Festival, happening on Saturday the 21st of September 2024.

The festival features a full program that includes very special guest speaker Hannah Moloney, a large variety of plant and garden stalls, garden themed workshops, talks, activities and free Nature Craft activities for the kids. There will also be lots of delicious food and beverages, including gluten free and vegan options.

The Mt. Pleasant Farmers Market is again partnering with the S.A. Spring Garden Festival with extended trading hours, so you’ll be able to enjoy both the Festival and the Farmers Market experience in one location.

Mt. Pleasant is a beautiful drive from every direction and in Spring, the Adelaide Hills and Barossa Valley are alive with blossoms and spectacular scenery!

Looking for something to delight the young and the young at heart?

Take yourself on a journey through the Hahndorf Fairy Gardens.

Filled with whimsical characters, the fairy gardens are basically a shop in the township of Hahndorf. However, there are many things to delight the little ones and spark your imagination.

From magic fairy toadstools, through the fairy wish-you-well, where you can even send a letter or email to the fairies.

Everywhere you turn, there are special little art pieces to inspire and touch your heart.

Established in 1991, Jo and Lou and of course Pixie the security cat will do what they can to delight you. They hand make most of their products, using natural clays and other products suitable for the garden.

For years they have been sharing with Australian and overseas fairy and garden lovers. They wish to encourage children to use their imagination and interact frequently with nature.

Available:

• Fairy statues

• Magical mushrooms

• Fairy doors and windows
