The Sustainable Verge Garden awards are back for 2024!

The annual Sustainable Verge Garden Awards recognise residents who upgrade and maintain their verges with native or waterwise landscaping.

Verges can be either

      A. Designed to incorporate local native species to increase local plant diversity

      and provide food and habitat for local native animals; or

      B. Designed to use low water demand plants which increase the

      streetscape appeal of the local area. 

Award Categories

There are two award categories: 

  • Best Sustainable Verge Presentation
  • Best Sustainable Verge Transformation
Prizes

Prizes will be awarded in both award categories, for first, second and third place.  

1st prize: $500
2nd prize: $300
3rd prize: $200

Nominations 

Residents can self-nominate or nominate another property within the Town of Cambridge. Nominations must include a submission of up to 25 words about the verge garden and a photograph of the nominated verge garden.

Judging is set to take place in early September. Award winners will be notified in September and awards will be presented by a Town representative in October when gardens are in full bloom for spring.

Nominations are now open until Sunday, 1 September 2024. Nominations
