2023 Scarecrow Festival

A massive thanks to everyone who came out to the Secret Garden to support our Scarecrow Festival last Saturday! We would like to extend our gratitude and appreciation to all our stall holders. This event would not have been possible without all our brilliant and gracious volunteers. From our very own NWDS staff, Secret Garden volunteers, as well as some of our family and friends. 

Scarecrow Festival Competition 2023 

We hold several fund raising events annually at the Secret Garden Community Hub where we invite disability organizations, all levels of schools, aged care facilities, local businesses, and the general public to participate in the creation of and the entering a Scarecrow into our competition. 

For this year's Scarecrow competiton winner we have:
#1: Larry the Larkin by Aberdoon House
#2: Safety Scott by St. Matthews After School Care
#3: Harry the Hippy by Fitzgerald Aged Care

The Easy Care Gardening team had a lot of fun today assembling their entry for the competition. Costa Crow is the spitting image of their favourite gardener Costa georgiadis from ABC Gardening Australia. 

See you all again on the 2nd of December 2023 for our annual Christmas Fair!
