This event plays an important role in supporting community wellbeing and resilience, particularly in a region experiencing prolonged drought and ongoing pressures on farming families.
By encouraging participants to grow something over several months, the competition provides:
• A positive focus during difficult seasons
• Opportunities for families to work together
• Regular connection through shared progress and updates
• A strong sense of achievement and pride
On event day, community organisations and support services will be invited to attend and engage with participants in an informal, approachable environment.
