2017 Community Pride Garden Awards
Trophies and certificates were presented to the winners in our beautiful community at an event held yesterday. The event was organised by Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood community board. Looking at the photos on display, the judges would have had a tough job on their hands choosing the winners.
Ron Andrew, President of Christchurch Beautifying Association told the gathering that the judges went through over 4000 streets to "locate" gardens who were worthy of shortlisting.
Some glimpses from the wonderful event, which was well attended by members of our community. Credit for all photos: Aaron Campbell.
This is the 27th year these awards have been running.

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
