To celebrate the phenomenal year that celebrity gardener Vasili Kanidiadis has had, he’s opening up the garden centre today to spread some Christmas cheer.

Vasili’s Garden Christmas Party is open to all today at Coburg, Victoria and with the activities planned you will find something that you aresi. “It’s a big celebration,” Vasili told Neos Kosmos. “We have so many new staff that work for us now that we wanted to celebrate together and it’s a way to say thank you to all our customers.”

The fun filled day with plenty of activities will kick off at 9.00 am and carry on well after closing time. There will be face painting, balloon making and a jumping castle for the kids, cooking demonstrations, and eating competition including the hot chilli eating competition. Vasili’s home-grown chillis will be on offer to the courageous one who can eat the most. And a big zorba dance that Vasili expects will wind up in the streets, with him following close behind on accordian. There will also be a pre-Christmas sale with 20 per cent off all stock so you can buy that last minute gift.

Vasili’s Garden Christmas Party will take place today at Home of Vasili’s Garden, 21-25 Munro Street, Coburg, from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm.
