Hunters Hill Garden Compition 

The Rotary Club of Hunters Hill, in a vibrant partnership with the Hunter's Hill Council, unveiled the 2024 Hunters Hill Spring Garden Competition—a blooming spectacle that promises to become an annual highlight for local horticultural enthusiasts. This year, the event enjoys generous sponsorship from Tracey Dixon and Matthew Ward at McGrath Hunters Hill, adding a touch of community spirit to this much-anticipated occasion. As garden gates swing open across the suburb, residents and families are invited to unveil their green thumb talents in both public parks and private backyards. The competition not only encourages creativity but also serves a noble cause: raising essential funds for the upkeep of the historic Hillman Orchard nestled beside Vienna Cottage on Alexandra Street. With each petal showcased and every seed sown lovingly tended, participants will contribute to preserving a cherished piece of local heritage while celebrating their passion for gardening amid camaraderie fostered by the Rotary Club of Hunters Hill.
