Liverpool Mayor Ned Mannoun has congratulated the winners of the 2025 Liverpool Garden Competition, praising residents for transforming their homes, balconies, schoolyards and community spaces into vibrant, flourishing showcases of local pride.
The annual competition celebrates gardening creativity and environmental stewardship across the Liverpool Local Government Area, recognising residents, schools and community groups who go above and beyond to make the city greener and more beautiful.
Mayor Mannoun said this year's entries demonstrated exceptional talent, imagination and commitment.
"A big green thumbs up to every single entrant in this year's Garden Competition," Mayor Mannoun said. "Our residents have shown once again that Liverpool is home to some of the most passionate and creative gardeners anywhere in Sydney."
The Mayor said the competition highlighted the important role gardens play in strengthening neighbourhoods, supporting biodiversity and improving wellbeing.
"Whether it's a colourful front garden, a productive veggie patch, a balcony overflowing with life, or a themed garden that reflects personal creativity, every entrant has contributed to making our city brighter and more welcoming," he said.
Mayor Mannoun also congratulated this year's winners and highly commended entrants, who were recognised across multiple categories including front garden, back garden, school garden, courtyard/balcony garden and themed garden.
"Our winners represent the very best of what this competition is about: dedication, imagination and a genuine love for creating beautiful spaces," Mayor Mannoun said. "These gardens add joy to our streets, cool our suburbs and build a sense of pride that strengthens our whole community."
Council awarded each winner a certificate and gift card to celebrate their efforts.
"I want to thank all entrants for their enthusiasm and the effort they put into making Liverpool greener," Mayor Mannoun said. "Your passion inspires others and shows what can be achieved when we care for our homes, our environment and our community."
