You also know a new plant won’t cut it, so what do you do?

Discover thousands of epic gifts for gardeners in Australia with hands-on birthday party experiences. Rather than organising a BBQ or picnic birthday party, stay aligned to the birthday person’s true passion instead. Whether the birthday person is a gardening fanatic or is simply interested in bringing more aspects of gardening into their lives, a gardening gift experience could be the ideal option to choose. 

If you’re unsure of what a gardening experience even is, think of gorgeous birthday party ideas in Australia such as terrarium workshops, kokedama workshops, gardening workshops for small spaces, organic gardening workshops and herbs and plants classes.

Learn from some of the best local experts in Brisbane from A Green Soul and you won’t only be supporting local businesses, you’ll be putting on a completely unique and utterly awesome birthday party for garden lovers. 

With over 1650 bee species found in Australia, bees are crucial to our ecosystem. Did you know that bees are responsible for pollinating three-quarters of the earth’s plants, which themselves produce 90% of the world’s food? Basically, a third of the world’s food production actually depends on the hard work of these tiny creatures. So it's pretty amazing to think about just how much we rely on bees, isn't it?

Invite the birthday person’s family and friends along for an educational and fun beekeeping class to learn fascinating facts all about the importance of bees. You’ll even learn how to build your own bee hotel, which plants attract bees, how to identify stingless bees and of course how to make your own honey! It doesn’t get more unique than one of the more interesting birthday party ideas in Brisbane!
