Gorse Flower with moonIf you are a mem­ber of the Region­al Coun­cil’s Be the Dif­fer­ence pro­gram then you’ll be aware of their new pro­mo­tion.

If not, then of course you should join (hint: it’s free).

Be the Dif­fer­ence are offer­ing a prize draw of a garden makeover worth $3,000 for mem­bers who send them pho­tos of the dodgy pest plants they’ve pulled out. Entry closes on 30 Septem­ber.

Obvi­ously this com­pet­i­tion does­n’t make much sense for all you hip apart­ment dwell­ers out there, unless you’ve got some Old Man’s Beard in your [flower] bed – in which case it’s high time you got rid of him any­way.

So join up, enter the com­pei­tion, and with luck you’ll obtain fund­ing for that all-paved-garden look you’ve been hanker­ing for.
