Dig It Isaac 2022
Dig It Isaac is back for a third year! We’re asking all of Isaac to get back to nature, in their own backyard. The competition is here to encourage residents to get back to basics by starting a new garden, finessing that lawn or completing a project that’s been sitting on the to-do list for a bit too long!
To take part, residents must spend at least $20 at a local Isaac business during the month of July, August or September to help them create their very own backyard oasis.
