Sydney Gardens has launched a writing competition to promote its Tree Weekender which will run on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 November.
The Tree Weekender will celebrate the National Lottery Heritage funded restoration of the park and the dozens of trees and associated ecosystems within the park. There will be two days of online and on-the-ground activities and events including tree meditation, guided tree walks and family arts and crafts activities.
In the run up to the event, residents are invited to get creative on the theme of ‘trees in parks and public gardens’ and write a poem or a story in less than 250 words to express their feelings, love or respect for the trees.
