“If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.”
As Frances Hodgson Burnett rightly put it in her novel “The Secret Garden”, there are many beauties in the world around us.
This is why Wondai Regional Art Gallery are encouraging Burnett artists to capture this garden beauty in the lead up to the 2021 Wondai Garden Expo.
Artists of all ages are encouraged to present an artwork within any medium encapsulating ‘a garden theme’ for the 2021 Wondai Garden Expo Art Competition.
