Theme: Nature’s Tapestry
Our 2025 Kevin Hoffman Walk calendar featured 12 stunning images captured by amateur photographers who entered our 2024 photo competition. The theme, Nature’s Tapestry, invited entrants to showcase the rich textures, layers, and natural beauty found along the Walk.
As always, all photos were taken along the Walk, capturing the unique charm of this native garden trail through every season.
We received another wonderful response to the competition, with a mix of returning entrants and first-timers. The judging process was no easy task thanks to the exceptional standard of entries.
