The State Rose & Garden Show is returning to Werribee Park on November 9-10 and is ready to dazzle.

From green thumbs to gardening novices, the free event is promising something for everyone.

Visitors will be able to wander through a variety of floral displays, shop for specialty garden products or pick up some new skills.

SWAY, the team of aerial artists are back and will soar above and across Werribee Park with their new gravity-defying show, while roving performances and live music will add to the weekend’s entertainment.

The Gardeners’ Dome will showcase gardening experts including Vasili, Chloe Thomson and Kat Lavers, who will discuss sustainable and edible gardens, fruit trees, worm farms, propagation among other things.

The All-Green Workshops and Café space will give kids and adults the chance to get hands on with interactive workshops- where they might learn a thing about growing their own food.

Not to be overshadowed, The Green Hub will tackle sustainable living and gardening practices, with everything from growing your own veggies to beekeeping.

Taste buds will be in for a treat with food trucks and the Point Cook Country Women’s Association’s renowned scones.

Travellers Aid will be on site to support those in need of mobility assistance, providing wheelchair, walker and pram hire.

While the event is free for everyone, visitors are encouraged to make a gold coin donation to help support the volunteers that look after the garden and make the event possible.
