Link Wentworth’s Gardening Competition has been held each year for more than 13 years. It is a wonderful chance for our residents to flex their green thumb, show us the unique and creative ways they care for their gardens, and to go in the running for a prize.
We are proud to have featured so many diverse gardens over the years, from balconies to courtyards to communal spaces, featuring flowers, edibles, succulents, cacti, and more.
Our annual Growing Communities Gardening Competition is supported by Community Greening, a program delivered by the Botanic Gardens of Sydney and is a partnership funded by the Department of Communities and Justice.
There are five categories you can enter:
Best herb and vegetable garden
Best courtyard garden
Best communal/ community or shared garden (including Vegepod)
Best balcony garden
Best general garden
Link Wentworth’s gardening competition encourages our residents to get their hands dirty and enjoy their outdoor spaces. This is Amanda’s story, where she describes the joy and wellbeing she gets from her communal garden.
