NZ Gardener is on the hunt for the nation’s horticultural super hero

The hunt is on for New Zealand’s keenest pair of green thumbs as NZ Gardener magazine, in association with Mitre 10, calls for nominations to find 15 regional winners to compete for the national title of 2010 NZ Gardener of the Year.
Each regional winner takes home a prize package of gardening products worth more than $1000, with the supreme winner scooping $5000 worth of Mitre 10 gift cards, along with a luxury trip for two to the 2011 Ellerslie International Flower Show.
Regional winners will be selected from Northland, Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Gisborne, Hawke’s Bay, Manawatu-Wanganui, Taranaki, Wellington, Nelson, Marlborough, West Coast, Canterbury, Otago and Southland.
Nominations close on 31 July 2010. For full competition details, see the June issue of NZ Gardener or visit www.nzgardener.co.nz.
