Backyard vegies branching out in Bacchus Marsh

Bacchus Marsh’s best backyards will be on show this month as part of a ‘best backyard vegie patch competition’.

The Bacchus Marsh Tourism Association’s annual contest invites residents to show off the hard work that goes on behind their fences.

Association secretary Glenda Jones encouraged all backyard gardeners to enter.

The Bellbrook Gardens Retirement Village has been runner-up two years in a row, with the village’s gardeners this year eyeing first prize of $500.

Entrants must live within 10 kilometres of Bacchus Marsh. Entries are open until 5pm on Friday, February 27.

The competition is part of the Bacchus Marsh Harvest Festival.

Winners will be named at the festival on Sunday, March 15.
