We are proud to announce this year’s winners of the rebadged Our Spring Garden Celebration.
This initiative is a ‘hands on’ community event that encourages us all to connect with one another based on a passion for gardening. It fosters new friendships, promotes environmental awareness and helps grow a sense of pride in our vibrant City.
Mayor Angela Evans and Open Space Community Planner Janet Willoughby were fortunate to visit a range of beautiful gardens across the community during the program, with all entries having their own unique sense of beauty.
We hosted more than 120 people at our presentation event in early November as participants came together and celebrate all nominees and winners. The awards were presented by ABC Gardening Australia’s Sophie Thomson.
Congratulations to all award recipients!
