The VSGP Awards Program recognises and celebrates the gardening achievements of students and their school communities and has $44,000 worth of nursery vouchers and garden products available for schools to win.
We understand, that schools have not been properly attended by students for the last two terms due to COVID-19 and appreciate that gardens may not be at their usual standard.
We would like to encourage schools to enter what has previously been done in the garden or what has been done upon return during the year.
