As a part of the Parnell Festival of Roses, Auckland Council invite you to get your creative gardening gloves on and join the Upcycle Garden Challenge!
The aim is for children to design and create an upcycled garden to be on display within the Parnell Festival of Roses. Each application is given a $400 grant to purchase materials of your choice in support of your upcycled items.
The gardens will be on display for the duration of the event, with the public voting for their favourite garden to win first place!
You can enter as a school group, or as individuals. Children MUST be accompanied by an adult for the challenge.
For more details on the challenge and the build, the information pack is available to read.
How to apply
If you would like to apply to take part in the challenge, you will need to fill in the application form and submit an initial design.
The design can be in draft form – and can be a simple as a drawing on a piece of paper! We just need an indication of what you plan on creating.
You are welcome to apply as any of the following:
- Individual—for example: parents and children, or children with caregivers.
- School Group—Schools are welcome to apply for this challenge.
- Community Group—Community groups are welcome to apply for this challenge.
If you would like to apply in a different format, please put this on your application—we are open to all groups!
Applications close on the 20th of June 2024.
