The 2008 Festival of Wildflowers focused on organic veggie gardening and the use of native plants in gardens. There was a range of displays including native plant sales and flower arrangements, composting, the St George Taronga Zoo Mobile, bush foods and books.
The Festival featured entertainment by LEAPFISH environmental performer and Songs of the Garden music by Harry Hughes.
Guided bushwalks and organic garden tours and a kids bush craft corner were running throughout the day. Talks were held inside the Education Centre as well as a presentation by Taronga Zoo. There was also dip netting at the pond for the adventurous with the Frog and Tadpole Society.
A sausage sizzle and Devonshire Tea was available from Turramurra Rotary and there was coffee and more food provided by Espresso Mobile.
