Sunraysia’s first Nature Strip Showdown winners have been crowned, showcasing some of best nature strips in our region while illustrating the pride residents take in their gardens.
Mildura Rural City Council earlier this year put the call out for residents to enter the inaugural competition.
It was also an opportunity to enter into friendly competition with other ‘green thumbs’ and the chance to win prizes valued at $500.
More than 25 residents throughout the district entered the competition to find the best grassed, best landscaped and best make-over/new subdivision nature strip.
Entries were judged by well-known community garden and tree-planting group Greening Mildura, whose members travelled across the region to select our three inaugural winners:
Best grassed: Paul Mahoney
Best landscaped: Bronwyn Taylor
and
Best make-over/new subdivision: Sam Iamarino
Mildura Mayor Liam Wood congratulated everyone who entered this year’s competition saying “It was great to see the amazing nature strips in our residential streets, and the lengths our community go to keeping their gardens so meticulously-maintained.”
