HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW – COMPETITION

2025 ENTRIES NOW OPEN

 

We want to reward and recognise your own Native Plant Projects.


Share with us how your Australian garden grows – large or small, city or country, courtyard or big backyard – in our How Does Your Garden Grow competition.

 

It’s easy to enter with some great prizes up for grabs as well as the chance for your garden to be featured right here on the Native Plant Project e-magazine.  

COMPETITION DETAILS

Entry Eligibility

We want to celebrate your passion for growing and caring for your own Native Plant Project.

If you have an Australian garden that features at least 50% native varieties, you’re eligible to enter.

Share with us your garden story – we’re looking for native plants used and how you’ve overcome site challenges to your garden’s creativity, functionality and general aesthetic. Sustainable garden practices will also be considered favourably.

Gardens Large & Small

All sizes of Native Plant Projects will be recognised.

No matter the scale of your garden, all sizes of Native Plant Projects can enter our competition. From a tiny balcony to a larger country garden, you’ll be able to select the category that best applies when you submit your entry.

We’ll be recognising winners in four categories as well as an overall How Does Your Garden Grow winner.  Take a look at our 2024 winners here

How To Enter

It’s easy to enter:

  1. Select the category you’re entering your garden in to – Coastal, Country, Suburban or Courtyard/Balcony
  2. Simply provide a written submission of up to 500 words detailing your own garden’s story
  3. Submit your garden description along with a maximum of 10 images of your garden to best showcase your achievements via our online entry process below
  4. Videos are also welcome to highlight your project along with any site plans too (optional)

And if you entered last year but weren’t a winner, we’d love for you to enter again. Our 2024 category and overall winner won’t be eligible.
