Runner ups:
- Catalina MU2 – fun colourful texta drawing of flowers and rainbow

Short list:

Well done to all entrants – it was fabulous to see so many plant paintings, drawings and collages.
The winning artwork will be used for the professionally made plant labels that will provide information about each native species in the Indigenous Plant Garden. The Indigenous Garden planting day will occur early in term 4.
