Have you voted for the GARDENA Gardener of the Year from your neighbourhood?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Rebekah Manley-Campbell and Samantha Claire are the dynamic duo/finalist in our GARDENA Gardener of the Year award. What would they do with all the cool gardening gear if they get the most votes? "We will be delighted to use them at the Bright Smile Community Garden to continue to improve and expand the work we do there. Samantha is also part of a group creating a second Community Garden in Thames which at this stage has no physical resources, eg tools and equipment, so we may be able to use some of the prizes there."

Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
