Spring Garden Competition
Marrickville Council's Spring Garden Competition runs yearly. Residents and businesses within the Marrickville Council area are invited to enter this great community event - whether a beginner gardener or a horticulturalist, whether you have a courtyard garden or a large backyard.
Since 2006 all entrants have been automatically entered in a water-efficient garden category, with judges looking for water-saving measures and sustainable garden design.
