The Storybook Garden Competition is about creating miniature gardens inspired by a story, using recycled and natural materials.
This year the competition has been extended so people of all ages who live in the ACT region can enter. Prizes listed below will be allocated in three categories - individuals (young people over 12 and adults), families and children's services (childcare centres, family day carers).
The competition costs $10 to enter (per garden) and all entry fees will go towards the next stage of Boundless Canberra.
The competition ends on Sunday 8 November 2015.
The winners will be announced here on Thursday 3 December 2015 – which is International Day of People with Disability. Prizes will be posted to winners.
