Do you know a green-thumbed superhero?
Hi neighbours, last year's Gardener of the Year, Mark Dennis, came from your neighbourhood, so we know you've got the talent in your backyard. Once again, we are on the hunt for homegrown heroes of the gardening sort! This year's Gardener of the Year will receive $6495 worth of gardening goodies, namely an amazing Escea Fire Table worth $4495, LawnMaster products worth $1000 and Tui products worth $1000. 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.
