These magnificent writers attended the awards ceremony on Tuesday 15 November at Mount Annan Botanic Garden to plant a few of the 5,500 trees (one tree per poem) from this fabulous, Australia-wide competition.

Their stunning poems, Nature within Me and Little Bud, can be found on Red Room’s link:

Congratulations on this magnificent achievement. Poetry has the power to change hearts, inspire thoughts and grow alternative futures.
