Entries now open for Garden Competition
Lockyer Valley Regional Council is proud to again launch its annual Garden Competition.
With entries now open, residents sporting green thumbs can enter their prized possessions and be ready for spring and the upcoming Laidley Spring Festival.
Council's Mayor Tanya Milligan encouraged those who had a passion for gardening to enter.
So many properties in the Lockyer Valley have gardens that clearly take their owners a considerable amount of effort and their results are truly stunning.
This competition is about recognising the fruits of their labour and I would encourage anyone who holds a passion for gardening to place an entry, Mayor Milligan said.
Mayor Milligan said Council was thrilled to welcome back renowned gardening expert and judge Rod Hultgren.
Judging will kick off in late August with great prizes up for grabs, including a $250 voucher for the Grand Champion and other impressive prizes for each category.
If you are a proud gardener you should enter this competition, she said.
