Take home a free pineapple from Queens Gardens in the Brisbane City from 9pm tonight.
A mini pineapple plantation has popped up in Queens Gardens in the CBD overnight in a sight that turns back time.
The site was the state’s first-ever pineapple plot in 1844 and has been returned to its historic roots for the official launch of the Year of Horticulture.
Horticulture Queensland is highlighting pineapples as the first commodity in a year-long awareness campaign of the state’s 104 produce crops.
Queensland Fruit and Vegetable Growers boss Rachel Chambers told Laurel & Mark the event was well-timed to coincide with a pineapple glut.
The pineapples will be at Queens Gardens until 9pm tonight, when they’ll be free to go to a good home.
Free pineapples. It doesn't get any more 'Queensland' than that
Take it with you to the local banana bending club?
