Whittlesea green thumbs dig a little competition

Whittlesea’s 2013 garden competition winner Jennifer Hunt was praised for her picture-perfect garden.

But 2014 bring an altogether different scenario with roses wilting and leaves going limp due to this month’s heatwave. Registrations close on Friday, January 31. Gardens can be entered in one of two categories – best front garden and best ‘edible garden’.

Winners will share prizes valued at more than $2000.
