The Invasive Weed Bouquet
Nature Conservation Margaret River entered a bouquet of invasive plants in the Margaret River Agricultural Show, and it won the show’s top floral award. The group used an unexpected mix of familiar garden weeds to make their threat to native bushland visible, then safely disposed of the bouquet to stop seeds spreading.
Why it worked: It hijacked a trusted judging mechanism to crown a villain as “best,” creating a tidy paradox with visual proof and expert validation.
The lesson: Worth trying: enter a taboo or overlooked problem into a reputable competition to force a surprising win and earn built‑in authority.
