Your neighbours Rebekah Manley-Campbell and Samantha Claire took out the title in 2017 for their fabulous work at the Bright Smile Community Garden.

Finalists will also receive amazing prizes from Burnet's, Gardena, Gellert's, Kings Seeds and Lynn River, and the most colourful character gets $1000 worth of Resene paint. So there's lots to be won for the green-thumbed heroes in your community. Tell us in writing why the person or group you are nominating deserves to be the 2019 Gardener of the Year, and send up to five high quality photos to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
