Dig It Isaac Gardening Competition
Tuesday 1 October to Thursday, 31 October 2024
Dig It Isaac returns! We’re inviting everyone in Isaac to reconnect with nature, right in their own homes or backyards. This competition aims to inspire residents to return to the fundamentals, whether it’s initiating a new garden, perfecting their lawn, or finally tackling that long-overdue project on their to-do list!
Entries will be accepted until Thursday, 31 October 2024 5pm. When your garden is ready to go, upload photos or videos of your project and a brief description about your garden. Entrants may nominate in up to two categories, but a residence may only be nominated by one entrant.
The Dig It Isaac panel will then judge entries and announce winners on Monday, 11 November.
