Sustainable Letterbox Competition - Love Letters to Nature
In a creative twist on our Scarecrow Competition, the VSGP is inviting kindergartens and schools this year to design and build a one-of-a-kind letterbox for display at the 2027 Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show.
Your letterbox must be made entirely from repurposed, recycled and reused materials. Get creative, get crafty and transform old, unwanted items into a wonderful letterbox for ‘love letters to nature’. Click here for Sustainable Letterboxes Brief.
For now, we are seeking Expressions of Interest to help us estimate numbers and plan the display. You will be asked to confirm your participation in February 2027.
