A Yates Budding Young Gardener may have been gardening for a few years and know how to sow seeds, rustle up a few radishes and turn lemons into lemonade. Or even just starting out!

The five day trip will include flights, accommodation, a rental car and tickets to the Queensland Gardening Expo (if travelling in July) and a three day pass to Gold Coast theme parks - Warner Bros. Movie World, Sea World and Wet ‘n’ Wild.
The competition is open to all keen gardeners aged 5-15 years. Entries close 17th September - so enter your Budding Young Gardener now!

“The Foton Tunland is the perfect ute for both work and play. It is a very versatile vehicle – it is a great workhorse with impressive power from the Cummins turbo diesel engine which enables top performance even when under a heavy payload."
"The Tunland is also built for recreation with loads of cabin space and a comfortable driving experience. All of this combined with the extremely affordable price tag makes for a fantastic package.”
