GARDENA Gardener of the Year

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Nominations are coming in thick and fast! Are you a gardening superhero or perhaps you know one in your neighbourhood? Tell us why you or someone you know deserves to be our 2017 GARDENA Gardener of the Year. We're looking for community leaders, inspiration mentors, the driving force behind a vege-growing food bank or someone who is beautifying their town or restoring wasteland. It could be anything... basically if a gardener has inspired you, let us know! Include your name and phone number plus contacts for the nominated gardener, or for a contact person if it's a group.

You can send nominations to 2017 GARDENA Gardener of the Year, NZ Gardener, PO Box 6341, Wellesley St, Auckland. Or enter on our website, nzgardener.co.nz
