Garden Competitions

Cultivating Excellence and Inclusion in Your Community –


Why hold a garden competition?

Garden competitions create social, economic and environmental benefits for organisations and their communities.

Garden competitions promote social connection by creating personal relationships between community members and your organisation. When held annually, it maintains that association and gives the community an event and goal to work toward.

While the mental health benefits of gardening are now well understood, the interconnections within a community are further enriched by bringing like-minded people together.

Celebrating gardening stimulates civic pride. Neighbourhoods are inspired by the green shoots of growing success and aspire to beautify their home patch. Soon whole districts are discovering the real estate and real health benefits that follow.

With greater focus on the environment and climate change, more children are becoming involved in gardening, increasingly fostered through schools and television programming. Community gardens are surging in popularity as people seek to gain more knowledge and employ organic practices.
