2007 Garden Competition

members and contact details.
The weather conditions and water restrictions will present even more of a
challenge this year, but it's now more important than ever to show that it's
still possible to have an attractive garden under adverse conditions by adopting
waterwise strategies.
The waterwise category is sponsored by the Pine Rivers Shire Council and will
be expanded again this year to cover waterwise planting, as well as innovations
in water collection and retention. We've also identified some useful
waterwise links:

The key dates are:
Closing date for entries - Tuesday, 4th September
Judging Day - Sunday, 9th September

Please note that it is not necessary to nominate which category you wish
to enter. Our judges will assign the most appropriate
category.
All entrants will receive vouchers for a bag of potting mix from our
major sponsor Steve Jones, and a free cubic metre of mulch from the Pine
Rivers Shire Council. Please note that you will need to pick up the mulch
yourself from the Council tip on Bunya Rd. The mulch is not bagged and you
will need a box trailer or utility to collect it.
The Hills District and Bunya Garden Competition wish to recognise the
generosity and support of our sponsors. Residents can show their
appreciation by supporting these sponsors.
The sponsors list was last updated 9th September,
2007.
