Dalby Shoppingworld's Community Easter Bunny Garden Project
🌼 Celebrating Community Creativity: Dalby Shoppingworld’s Easter Bunny Garden Project
Dalby Shoppingworld is proud to celebrate creativity, colour and community spirit through our Community Easter Bunny Garden Project — a joyful initiative that brought together local schools, kindergartens, daycares and playgroups in a vibrant display of imagination.
This year, we invited local groups to decorate their very own Easter bunny. Each bunny was transformed with personality, colour and creativity, reflecting the unique spirit of the young people who make our community so special.
The finished bunnies were showcased in our garden space beside Wholelife Pharmacy, creating a cheerful Easter display that quickly became a favourite stop for families, shoppers and visitors.
🌿 When the Garden Bloomed
March 16 – April 6
Across three festive weeks, shoppers were invited to wander through the garden, admire the creativity on display and enjoy a little sparkle of Easter magic. The garden became a place of smiles, photos, proud parents and excited children searching for “their” bunny.
💛 Community Voting: Choosing a Favourite
To make the project even more engaging, we invited our community to help choose the Community Favourite Bunny.
Visitors could:
- Visit the display beside Wholelife Pharmacy
- Choose their favourite bunny, noting the group’s name or logo
- Fill out an entry form from the voting barrel
- Submit their vote to support their chosen group
To keep things fair and fun, voting was limited to one vote per person — and all voting took place in‑centre.
The group with the most votes received a $200 Visa Gift Card, proudly awarded by Dalby Shoppingworld.
