Festival Displays

Step into the Ballarat Begonia Festival and enjoy the Botanical Gardens in full bloom! The highlight is the Begonia Display in the Robert Clark Conservatory, designed by the talented Ballarat Botanical Gardens Nursery team.

This year's theme is ‘Symphony of Begonias’, designed to feel rich, layered, and co-ordinated, much like a well-composed piece of music. The 2026 display showcases upright and cascade begonias alongside a selection of non-tuberous begonias to highlight the diversity of the collections. 

Wander the Botanical Gardens to see the Sustainable Garden Displays, inspired by eco-friendly design, and the Floral Community Garden Displays, crafted by local gardeners.

Every display is a showcase of local talent, creativity and a love for gardening!
