THE WEEDY GARDEN MAKEOVER GIVEAWAYS!

🌱 Australian & New Zealand Garden Makeover –

A Legitimate community minded Trade Promotion - (Terms and conditions are at the bottom of this page).

Every second month, one of our Weedy Garden customers in Australia or New Zealand will be randomly selected to receive a Weedy Garden Community Makeover — a hands-on, volunteer-powered transformation of a food-growing space.

This Trade Promotion is all about community, generosity, and helping ordinary people turn their gardens into thriving edible landscapes.
No fancy ponds, no ornamental show gardens — just real, practical, abundant food production.

🍃 How It Works

We keep things simple, fair, and affordable:

• There are 27 designs, each costing $10

• Each design includes free entry into the Trade Promotion

• All designs cost the same — no discounts, no bundles, no special deals

• One purchase = one free entry

• The Australian & NZ Trade Promotion is completely separate from the international one

• This promotion complies with AU/NZ rules because the total makeover value is under $5,000

Whether you buy one design or all 27, your entries are treated equally and fairly.
Plain, simple, transparent.

🌿 How Your Purchase Helps the Makeovers Happen

The money raised from these $10 designs is used to organise and execute the Weedy Garden Community Makeovers.

That includes things like:

• Compost

• Mulch and woodchips

• Fruit trees and edible plants

• Soil improvement materials

• Tools for the day (if needed)

• Food and drinks for the volunteers

• Travel and production costs to document the transformation

These makeovers are all about repurposing, reusing, and regenerating.
This means:

• ❌ No new beehives

• ❌ No machinery purchases (chippers, shredders, etc.)

• ❌ No luxury or ornamental builds

• ❌ No high-value installations

Instead, the focus stays on practical edible gardening — turning ordinary spaces into productive food gardens with real value for everyday people.

The “prize value” is simply the cost of materials, food, and execution, capped at under $5,000, which keeps the promotion fully legal and transparent across Australia and New Zealand.

🎥 Documented & Shared on YouTube

Each makeover is filmed and documented for The Weedy Garden YouTube Channel, so the whole community can follow the journey, learn about different climates and growing challenges across Australia and New Zealand, be inspired, and see the impact they helped create.

I (Weedy AKA David Trood) guide the project, teach as we go, but the real magic comes from the volunteers who show up ready to learn, help, and grow.

This is a community effort — a bunch of legends coming together to bring someone’s edible garden dream to life.

It’s more than a makeover.
It’s a community workshop that helps you build your edible paradise.

🌿 What the winner Receives

A Weedy Garden Community Makeover — a volunteer blitz designed to help you take your edible garden to the next level.

Our focus is on food production:

• Vegetable beds

• Fruit trees

• Perennial edibles

• Soil improvement

• Compost systems

• Water-wise solutions

• Bee-friendly plantings

• Food forest starters

• Planting trees, berries and vegetables

No koi ponds, no rose gardens (unless the bees insist), no fancy landscaping.
Just wholesome, practical, productive gardening.

🌱 What Kind of Garden Is Right for This?

This makeover is built for people who:

• Have a garden project they’ve started but never finished

• Have a plan but not enough hands

• Have the dream but need help

• Have the passion but not the time

• Or simply want to transform a space into a productive edible paradise

We’re looking for unfinished, underloved, or just-needs-a-boost gardens.

👥 Who are “We”?

We are the Weedy Garden Community — generous, curious legends from across Australia and New Zealand who love learning, growing, and helping others create edible gardens.

🌿 The Reconnaissance Visit

Before anything happens, I (Weedy AKA David Trood) come out to see your space in person.
We walk your garden together, talk about your goals, and work out what would genuinely help you.
We look at what can be repurposed, what’s achievable in a weekend, and how to make the biggest impact with simple, practical methods.

🌱 Calling the Community

Once we understand your needs, I reach out to the Weedy Garden community through the newsletter (and sometimes social media) to gather a team of volunteers who want to be part of a real, hands-on learning experience.

🌻 The Weekend Workshop

When the weekend arrives, the “work bee” feels more like a community workshop than labour.
Everyone gets involved, learns new skills, and helps transform your garden using what you already have on your land, plus compost, soil, plants, mulch and the resources we can gather.

These weekends are rich with community spirit — shared food, good conversation, new friendships, and the joy of creating something meaningful together.

🌻 Second Prize - A Weekend retreat at The Weedy Garden

Every draw, a second entry will be chosen to receive a two-day Weedy Garden Retreat here on the hill.
