Greenfest

Coinciding with both World Environment Day and Queensland Day was a three day event called Greenfest, which was presented by Brisbane City Council. Greenfest was held at the Brisbane Botanic Gardens from the 5th to 7th June, with over 200 exhibitors, 60 bands, 50 speakers, film screenings, art displays, and a range of fun workshops all aiming to help raise awareness about the importance of environmental sustainability.

A well organised event and having the different sections spread around the gardens worked really well. All areas were only a short stroll away from each other, allowing plenty of room to freely move around without anywhere being overcrowded. And the Brisbane Botanic Gardens have never looked so good due to the recent rain Brisbane has experienced. Everything was beautiful, lush, clean and so very very Green!
