With thanks to support from one of our major sponsors Neutrog Australia, we can announce that our key-note speaker is S.A.’s passionate gardener and horticulturalist Sophie Thomson. Sophie is a well-known author, media personality and presenter on ABC's Gardening Australia and talk-back radio with lots of great ideas and generousity to share her knowledge. ​
With over 60 stalls, you can buy from specialty gardening related stalls selling plants, garden décor, garden suppliers and services, art and artists, new gardening techniques, tools and lots of choices of food and refreshments. In 2026, the Garden Affair will expand to spill onto adjacent Euston Road outside the Aldgate Hut Community Centre.​​​​​
