Annual garden competition
The Community Development Team have rebooted the Annual Garden Competition! Our residents cultivate stunning gardens, and we want to highlight how they’re growing – in recognition of your green thumbs and hard work. We invite entries from gardens big or small! Our Victorian Resident Advisory Committee (VRAC) will vote on their favourite garden. Their favourite entry will receive a $100 Bunnings gift card, and feature in an upcoming Home Stories edition. Entries received will also go in the draw to be gifted a Vegepod vegetable garden kit. To find out more and submit your name, address and photos of your garden, please contact the Community Development Team. Call 1300 312 447 or email communitydevelopmentvic@hcau. org.au . Entries due end of February.
