Spring Garden Competition
Whilst Autumn has only just begun, it’s a great opportunity to remind you that our Spring Garden Competition is running this year. If you are an avid outdoor gardener, tend to your indoor plants or just want to give gardening a go, this competition is a great opportunity to work on your green thumbs. Gardening is an amazing way to get in touch with nature but also has great benefits to mental and physical health. All types of gardens can be entered, from veggie to flower to indoor sanctuaries. Share photos of your garden with us to get the chance to win one of four $100 Bunnings vouchers . To enter the competition, send photos of your garden to communitydevelopmentvic@hcau.org.au. Make sure to include some background information on you, your garden, and what your garden means to you. Send your photos in by Monday, 3 rd November. Your gardens will be judged by members of our Resident Advisory Committee. This year, we have four categories you can
Contribute to the local community? Do good deeds for others?
Maintain their property? Alert others to danger?
The Good Neighbour Initiative recognises the impact that good neighbours have on our wellbeing.
