Dylan was presented with the award (by Zoom) by none other than Costa Georgiadis from Gardening Australia!
This is a wonderful recognition of the hard work and dedication that Dylan devotes to the garden.
This is an Australia-wide competition as part of Community Gardens Australia so it is an awesome achievement!
