Gardeners rejoice! It's time to smell the roses and put on the gardening gloves as the popular Logan City Council Garden Competition returns.
This year we're encouraging gardeners to focus on waterwise and energy efficient gardening practices, as every drop of water is precious.
The competition opens on 17 July and gardeners have until 3 October to register their entries. Judging will take place on 13 and 14 October and the winners will be announced on 17 October from 6.30 pm at the Beenleigh Community Centre.
