🪴🏙️ THE GARDEN CITY GROWERS CHALLENGE 🏙️🪴
Sign up for the Garden City Growers challenge and transform your high-rise balcony into a lush, leafy paradise! Perfect for families living in Asia's urban jungles, this challenge empowers you and your kids to become green-thumbed heroes. Play Sky Farm Island and learn how easy and fun it is to grow your own vegetables and herbs at home or at school. You'll learn to create your very own sky garden, proving that even the smallest spaces can bloom with life.
For the Garden City Growers Challenge, we're looking for snapshots that capture the essence of urban gardening with a creative twist! 🌱📸 We love:
Side Views & Over-the-Shoulder Shots: Show us your little gardener in action from a side perspective, focusing on their engagement with the greenery.
Close-Ups of Hands: Zoom in on those tiny fingers planting seeds, watering plants, or tenderly caring for the garden. Let the hands tell the story of growth and care.
The Green Scene: Photos that highlight the vibrant life of your urban garden - from leafy greens under the sun to blossoming flowers on the balcony.
We launch on Earth Week (22-26 April), followed by a milestone event on World Environment Day (5 June) and a final celebration during the UN General Assembly (10-24 September).
Remember, the joy is in the journey of growing, not in the faces. Let’s keep the focus on those green thumbs and budding plants! 🌼👧👦
