Since its humble beginnings in 2005, Collectors’ Plant Fair (CPF) has blossomed into Australia’s most treasured plant fair, drawing thousands of passionate gardeners, plant collectors, and specialist growers from all corners of the country. It’s more than just a plant fair—it’s a weekend dedicated to discovering rare and hard-to-find plants, catching up with fellow plant enthusiasts, and sharing knowledge with experts in the field. It’s a weekend where friendships are rekindled over a love of plants, delicious food and great coffee.

 

After ten vibrant years, CPF’s founders—Peta and Peter Trahar, and Beth Stokes—passed the torch in 2015 to Daniel Wheatley, who has steered the fair into an exciting new chapter. Under Daniel’s leadership, and with the addition of event manager Jada Bennett in 2019, CPF continues to thrive, always upholding the same passion, integrity, and generosity that have made it a beloved institution in NSW. Together, they have built a dynamic team that is as enthusiastic about plants as the community they serve.

 

In 2024, the Fair reached another milestone with the launch of its first-ever Spring event in the Hunter Valley, introducing a new audience to the wonders of CPF. This event was an incredible success, cementing the Fair’s status as a must-visit destination for plant lovers far and wide.

 

Whether you’re on the hunt for a long-lost treasure, looking to chat with the experts, be inspired by speakers on the stage, ask questions or simply soaking up the atmosphere, Collectors’ Plant Fair is the ultimate place to fuel your plant obsession.
