BALLARAT BEGONIA WEEKEND
where gardening, arts and culture come to life
7-9 March, 2009

Gardening, arts and culture come together to offer a fabulous weekend program packed full of activities and events taking place in and around Ballarat's Botanical Gardens, the Lake Wendouree foreshore and the historic CBD.
A weekend showpiece is the outstanding Begonia Display - a must see for anyone with even a passing interest in beautiful blooms. It is a celebration of floral extravagance made all the more impressive by its location in the lofty, light-filled expanse of the award winning Robert Clark Centre.
As well as begonias, there will be plenty of treats in store aimed to please keen gardeners and art lovers alike. A selection of gardening and horticulture displays, tours and talks located in the Ballarat Botanical Gardens, an array of free family activities and entertainment of the Lake foreshore and Australia's largest outdoor art exhibition are just some of the spectacles of the Ballarat Begonia Weekend. All this and more, situated within strolling distance from one another.
