John Horrell, "green-thumbed superhero"

I'm nominating John Horrell for New Zealand Gardener of the Year, a competition run annually by the NZ Gardener magazine, for his enormous contribution to the maintenance and development of Roland's Wood, not to mention initiating the Kerikeri Garden Safari, and his and Judy's own prize-winning garden which is open to the public.  While many people are involved in making Roland's Wood the great community resource it is, we know that John Horrell is a key driver, spending many, many hours working there, planning and organising...

Go to the NZ Gardener link http://www.nzgardener.co.nz/ for full details if you'd like to add a nomination or let me know if there is anything you'd like to add to mine.  Entries close at the end of August, finalists are announced in the October NZ Gardener and then the winner will be announced as a result of a public vote in December.
