Over seven decades, Toowoomba has watched the Chronicle Garden Competition bloom into the world-renowned event it is today. Held alongside the Carnival of Flowers each spring, visitors come from far and wide to enjoy a kaleidoscope of colour and excitement, with entrants opening their gardens to the public for 10 days. Each Garden is different and unique in its own way, with interesting plant choices. See the vibrarant gardens daily during Carnival time. They call it 'The Garden City' and every year, in the spring, Toowoomba transforms into colour, with blooms flourishing across parks, streets, front gardens and backyards.
