Grow Your Health Challenge - Botanic Gardens Week 2026

Visit the Western Australian Botanic Garden during the month of May, complete a small wellbeing activity and enter the draw for your chance to win prize packs from Weleda, Frank Green and the Backyard Botanist. The more you visit, the more entries to win!

This event is running as part of Botanic Gardens Week, which takes place 18-24 May 2026. This annual week of celebration highlights the role of plants in our lives and the important work botanic gardens and arboreta undertake every day to conserve them for future generations. This year's theme, 'Where Your Health Grows', recognises the health and wellbeing benefits of these beautiful spaces. 

How To Enter the Challenge

1. The 20 Minute Reset
   Walk for 20 minutes in the garden. No phones. No rush.
    
2. The Mindful Moment
   Pause for 5 mins. Note 5 things you see, 4 you hear and 3 you can feel.
    
3. Move Your Way
   Choose a movement. Walk/jog around the garden, stretch, or try yoga.
    
4. Connect and Belong
   Bring someone with you or start a conversation in the garden.

   Talk to a volunteer about the benefits of being a garden volunteer.
